Oh yeah, I mean it is honestly comparable to plenty of inland cities in the US. Denver and Salt Lake City have similar geography and corresponding air quality issues. Personally, I've always been on the coast and where I live now has especially good air quality, so I'm just used to that lol

I have very little insight into that, lol, but I hope so!
There was a lot of corruption before, which resulted in shit like a petrochemical plant getting built upwind of the city, despite there being room downwind. Since the anti-corruption measures, things have gotten better. And the pollution is far less than it used to be, but it's still not ideal. Plus, there are far fewer foreigners in Chengdu than, say, Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen.
Chengdu is being developed quite rapidly, but that does come with downsides. It's a lot rougher around the edges than more established cities like Beining or Shanghai.
One important thing to note is that the CPC deems it strategically critical to position heavy industry in cities like Chengdu and Chongqing because they are deep within the interior. In the event of great power conflict, they are much more defensible than industry in the large coastal cities. Unfortunately, particularly in Chengdu, that means that the pollution is quite heavy compared to some of the coastal cities which have been able to control it much more effectively. It's a lot better than it used to be, but the AQI is still generally around 150 or higher. Anecdotally, it's a lot rougher on the lungs than e.g. Beijing.
Also, I hope you like spicy food lol
Much more, they're building a large station down the street from where I'm staying currently, and the trains are at capacity throughout the day despite running trains every couple of minutes.
The point of sabotage is that you don't do your job correctly
The redacted version, but the newly released file is unredacted and unambiguously states that they were CIA sponsored
The downside is... that it's Chinese? BYD products are way more proven than any EV technology America has ever touched. I think you're just racist.
Not really, you still need to have a lot of tooling for compilers, hardware, etc. But it is an area where China has an opportunity to both eliminate dependence on proprietary foreign technology, and develop a technology that nobody else has a real edge in
The exchange value is low, because nobody wants burnt cookies or shit pies. But if people did want to buy burnt cookies and shit pies, the exchange value would correlate with the amount of labor required to produce them.
TERF anti-masker Gloria de la Cruz
First of all, I have no idea who Gloria de la Cruz is.
Secondly, I can say from my firsthand experience, neither Gloria la Riva nor Claudia de la Cruz are transphobic anti-maskers.
But you're clearly not engaging seriously or in good faith, so this is pretty unproductive.
