I&#x27;m not saying air pollution is not a problem at all. It may had gone really bad in a few major cities a few times, but it&#x27;s not something everyone gets to experience. The overall air quality is not top notch but it&#x27;s also not so bad as many of the Americans think. There are many things I hate about China but air pollution won&#x27;t even be in the list.<p>Comparing to that I&#x27;m bothered a lot more here about the prevalence of guns, drugs, high crime rates, the unfairness in education (how many ivy league students come from poor families?), ridiculously expensive medical system, so many bullshit in the law, government wasting so much money while getting almost nothing done... I&#x27;d happily trade air pollution with solution to any of these problems. Sometimes it&#x27;s just funny to see how Americans could be okay to accept all of that really well, some may not even realize these are all appalling problems, while they still give such a big fuss about air pollution in China.
