China celebrates its status as world's number one air polluter

A Saturday time-waster brought to you by The Onion

Especially quote-worthy:

"The labour of the people has made the sky black with the smoke of progress."

"The sky over China is now a rainbow of grace reflecting all the shades of our prosperity."

"If pollution ruins a river, we will build a new river. If pollution destroys a mountain, we will build a new mountain. At long last, the world cannot ignore our growing prosperity."

Just don't ask us why the name of this supposed Chinese ambassador was spelt in Wade-Giles instead of Hanyu Pinyin!

And for those of you that aren't aware yet, The Onion is a satire website, ie., it is NOT meant to be taken seriously.
