Save yourself the cost of China trip. If it's over regulation you want to experience just go to North Qld. There's a tosser from DOTARS (I think) going to each of the Communties scaring the bejesus out of the local councils with lurid tales of Reds under their beds.....er I think it was terrorists or druggies or maybe all of the above. He wants all these councils to lock up their airports and require any plane to give one hours notice of it's arrival. The otherwise unoccupied CEO will then toddle down to the airport unlock the gate, ask you your business and if this recently trained security expert is satisfied with your bona fides he may let you in. This is very necessary, I was solemnly informed, because there are planes flying around wherever they like, and they could be going anywhere! Goodness Gracious!! Planes doing what cars and boats do every day of the week! We can't have that!
If it's just the pollution you want to experience, go anywhere up north in the dry season. All the smoke pollution you want, absolutely free!
Bon Voyage
