Chengdu's Smog: A Disastrous Reality - Trump-Style Rant

Let me tell you folks, this is the worst thing in Chengdu. And I'm not exaggerating one bit.

Sichuan is a basin, and Chengdu is at the bottom of it. There's no good way to control the air pollution, only relying on the wind. A few years ago, there was only fog, not smog. These are two different things. Fog is a natural occurrence, it's water vapor. Smog is pollution and toxic particles. People can't clear away the smog. We all know who should be doing that.

Factories there emit dust and pollution, it's an ecological disaster. With the arrival of Pengzhou Petrochemical, Chengdu's smog has become devastating. When winter comes, it gets dark early, and those polluters will create more exhaust fumes.

For many years, Chengdu's lung cancer rate has ranked third in the country, even lower than Hebei. People do nothing. The government turns a blind eye to it. They even arrest people who gather for air pollution. Years ago, on the bustling Chunxi Road in this city, someone was arrested for sitting quietly wearing a mask. Later people turned a blind eye to the smog. Don't they know that the particles in the smoke are carcinogenic?

Most people here are working hard to make a living, ignoring that smog can cause cancer, and it can wipe out their life savings. Millions of people may get lung cancer. It won't kill them immediately, but they don't care. They are still dreaming, still safe and sound, but this is a disaster, and it's happening every day.
