China: Government admits toxic environment now killing off the population

China’s top negotiator at international climate talks said yesterday that air pollution in the country is harming its citizens.

“China indeed is suffering from severe air pollution,” said Xie Zhenhua, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, the top economic planning body.

Smoggy conditions have “now become the norm which has severely affected the mental and physical health of the Chinese people,” he added.

But he voiced hope for improvement in the next decade.
