There's quite an interesting story surrounding this documentary. Apparently it was initially pushed by state news outlets and the minister of environment and within days garnered over 100 million views in China.
Then later it was reconsidered, and the video removed and articles about it started getting censored.
A neighbour came back from a trip there recently. He is old enough to remember the last of the pea soupers we used to see in the UK before they cleaned up the air (a bit).
Air pollution is no joke. They publish the number of people who will die, who will die early, and who will suffer serious complications as a direct result.
