Chinese citizens can breathe clean air. Japan is only a 4 hour flight away

That's an unusual way to spell Taiwan, but sure?

Taiwan air is not that good, actually. It has heavy industry, so AQI of 100 days happen often

I was gonna say isn’t China a big ol landmass of a country with diverse climates like most big countries? I recently saw a photo I could have sworn was taken in the bahamas or some other stereotypical tropical paradise but no apparently southern China has some cool beaches lol

Actually, yes, the air quality is good in places away from heavy industry. Hainan has some good surfing spots, it's usually what people think when they think about China beach spots. That said, it's as expensive as California because it's one of the few great beach places that Chinese people without a passport can go to (other benefits being everyone speaks Chinese, the food is familiar, etc.). Thailand is a much better value for money, for example
