"Blow Job": the Only Way to Clean Beijing's Air

Street-side grilled mutton skewers, with chili pepper, is one of the most cherished pleasures in summer in Beijing. It is common to view several people sit together and eat grilled mutton skewers with cold beer.

However, municipal officials start to rein in the skewer sellers in the name of decreasing air pollution. City administration officials were stepping up inspections of unlicensed grilling operations around the city, threatening violators with fines up to 5,000 yuan ($815) and possible confiscation of barbecue paraphernalia.


It's true the air pollution is a heavy issue in Beijing, and this is the first time officials have used the city’s notorious air pollution as a primary motive in going after the skewer stands.


Although some reports prove that the street-side mutton skewers barbecue is the common source of PM2.5, it is still questionable whether other air-pollution-control policy, like decreasing the volume of motor traffic, should have priority.

For those who live in Beijing, it makes sense that they can only see the blue sky in windy days. The stronger the wind is, the cleaner the air will be. The reason is simple: the wind blows dust away.

So the conclusion is simple: the only way to clean Beijing's air is "blow job".
