Pollution in China, killing millions

Pollution in China kills more than 1.5 million people each year (4,400 each day), amounting to 17% of the nation’s annual deaths. On Christmas thick smog continued to engulf China’s largest cities just a day after authorities canceled more than 200 flights from Beijing due to limited visibility. The smog is a issue that not only effects China but effects the rest of the world. The smog from China drifts all the way to the west coast of The United States of America, hitting state such as California , Oregon, and

Washington. Not only does it effect America, but it effects Japan, the Korea's, and neighboring countries.

The smog make travel in China very difficult, the smog makes the visibility only 10 meters. However, over 2,000 factories in and around Beijing were ordered to either reduce production or shut down entirely, they are trying to fix the issue, but it will take more than shutting down 2000 factories.
