if people thought Beijing was polluted, wait till this happens. It will be a permanent fog/smog cloud hovering indefinitely over this plane. If the focus is on making sure that there are long term "green" goals of making sure people use human-powered transportation w/ large public transit systems like subways, trains, bussing systems, then there is potential for this to happen and be maintainable. Generally speaking the Chinese have done much better than than Indians have with their supposed democracy in moving their economy along. India on the other hand has been a general failure, especially in raising the general population into a better life-cycle. If china does this, and is successful, it will be a foundation for other large countries to follow.

I'm presuming they are doing something good, and not considering all the cons that will ensue.
