“Even as a foreigner, I know the pollution has a lot to do with too much focus on economic indicators(指标)in evaluating Chinese officials,” said Florian Kessler, an executive(执行的)director with German law firm WZR Consulting. The German executive speaks fluent Chinese, loves Beijing food and is a big fan of Beijing Guo’an Football Club, but after staying in the city for eight years, he now wants to leave. “Since I smoke, I’m okay with the pollution, but I can’t let my kid breathe in the polluted air. That’s why I’m leaving,” Kessler explained.
He also said that German companies operating in Beijing, such as BMW, Benz and Volkswagen, have all had a hard time finding staff willing to work here.
China has repeated in the past that we would not follow the old path of industrialized nations to develop first and deal with pollution afterward. But the smog is an awkward reminder that our country is already on that path. Whether we can change route depends on the choice Chinese officials make between environment and growth in the years ahead.
