Great! Now could they please legalize speaking about pollution?

Check out PurpleAir in Asia. Lots of sensors in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Nepal, Laos, Cambodia, Mongolia. Very few in China, and none in Beijing.

You mean, China doesn't want a US IoT company to install a whole bunch of sensors in China? Say it isn't so!

In my experience, when someone wants to restrict you from speaking about the facts of the world you live in, they usually don't have your best interests at heart.

Ah yes, because installing a foreign-built sensor network is all about speaking the facts about the world you live in. Of course.

But than how could China lie?
