In a meeting on national environmental monitoring held today, Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection Wu Xiaoqing said that the Ministry has located the main source of air pollution in Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and nine other major Chinese cities.
The main source of air pollution in Chinese cities comes from particulate matter in the air. The matter comes from motor vehicles, industrial production, coal, dust and other sources. In Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, the primary source of air pollution is motor vehicles. In Shijiazhuang and Nanjing, the primary source of pollution is coal. The main source of Tianjin's pollution is dust, Shanghai's pollution is transportation-related, and Ningbo's pollution stems from industrial production.
Wu Xiaoqing said the Ministry plans to analyze the source of pollution for 26 major cities. Wu added that with the release of this analysis, the nine cities investigated should work to cut back their emissions in the key areas mentioned.

Haha "well done Sherlock" comes to mind. So now that we've done our PR, we'll just carry on as usual...

I bet that they had to steal this information from western newspapers and other western sources to come to this common sense conclusion. Now the real questions...what will they do about it? Nothing.

How about introducing a "Pay As You Drive" system? Many are on the roads just because they WANT to be, but NEED not be.

It surprises me that whoever translates these articles hasn't learned yet that we are going to make fun of the articles (usually because the translation is done poorly). The summaries are usually not done well in any regard. I wish they would hire me to write articles for them. I think they would be more interesting and more complete in the translation. To do so, all I would have to do is sit behind a Chinese student in almost any school and watch what is trending. But, instead of just asking the student to simply translate it for me, I would ask for the link of the story and then translate it.

That recent documentary on air pollution by Chai covered 10X more ground and depth, naming names. If they are serious the first thing to do is fire those bribe taking department heads and hire her. But this is china so ....

Oh man... not surprising... yet entirely embarrassing to the human race. If they give me a million+ yuan, I can probably come up with a better report with solutions than this... I bet many of you could too. Just embarrassing.

Guys the article has terrible translation and in Chinese I think it is a good article. It combats corruption (genuinely I think) and doesn't sound retarded.

So can cars be banned from the roads now? or is it going to take 10 years to research that cars causing pollution can be minimised by lowering car numbers...

What a remarkable breakthrough! I'm sure this was a study performed by an "independent contractor" with a hefty research budget.

Meanwhile, the main source of overpopulation in China comes from the number of people. Can I has PhD? Apparently the sole requirement of holding public office in China is being a fat, dim-witted moron who takes 10 years to figure out a vague dictionary definition of something.

"The main source of air pollution in Chinese cities comes from particulate matter in the air". This is an amazing observation!

That took plenty of investigation and research I am sure. At least 10 years of research...

The acrticle is translated badly for that phrase. Originally it reads something like. x city and x city have the most particulate matter in the air from x reason. The article also talks about tampering with data, which has been done in the past at great credibility loss. The article we have read here is the shittest translation ever.
