[quote=CHERRY07,507553]I started this vote after reading this piece of news. Patti Austin, a 63 years old famous jazz singer in the US who also won the Grammy Award, canceled her performance in Beijing on October 18 because asthma attacked her after she arrived in Beijing. According to the report, Patti Austin kept coughing when she arrived in Beijing. Afterwards, she went to the hospital and was diagnosed that she had a serious infection in the respiratory tract. It also led to the asthma so that she couldn’t sing songs for the audience. The air quality index showed that the air was heavily polluted. According to the US embassy, the air was hazardous with the concentration of PM 2.5. One of her fans even suggests that Beijing should apologize to Austin for causing her to suffer from the asthma. In fact, Austin is not the first foreigner who is the victim of the air pollution in Beijing. Many foreigners have the same symptom after they come to Beijing, that is “coughing”. Someone makes a joke that he suffers from the “Beijing cough” every time he comes. However, everything is fine when he gets back to his home. To be honest, the fog and haze has visited many other places in China frequently. What can China do to cope with the fog and haze? I also read from the FT that some mangers from the foreign companies refuse to move to Beijing though their companies promise to increase their salaries if they go. They are afraid of the air pollution. What about you? Will the fog and haze stop you traveling in China? Will you avoid going to those cities that suffer from the fog and haze seriously? [/quote]
