Nobody is perfect.
According to an article published today by PBS, one of the smaller parts of the Chinese propaganda machine, tried to justify the unearthly smog in Beijing by describing some of the benefits to China. To me, this has the same ring as the doctor who said, "That tumor is malignant. Good thing we caught this early."
The example used was the ability to mask sensors which might be used to target Beijing with missiles, or observe it from outer space. If they really think it is such a good idea, they might want to increase the smog, not only in Beijing, but also in all the other major cities of China. We would certainly have a hard time launching missiles towards those big cities, if we decided to do that. Probably nobody has had that idea, since the Boxer Rebellion, but it could happen.
Maybe the military group that thought up this brilliant justification knows something we don't. If they do, the Chinese have decided to mask their assault by fogging up their capital. Once the attack is over, they will let the civilians breathe again. You have to admit, they are really clever. Amazon books:
