India is suffering from intense pollution when it is still nowhere near to becoming the factory of the world. Still, they won't get as much stick from the Western media, because they are no rivals.
A decade ago, China was also heavily polluted. But that was because they were producing stuff for the world. The West were very scathing about China's pollution issues. Back then, Westerners were calling a China a hell-hole to live in, and they assumed that the "evil CCP" will never be able to fix it.
Today, China had dramatically cleaned up compared to about a decade ago, yet they get no praise. Instead, the West are calling China's Green Revolution a "threat". When China was dirty, they slammed it for being dirty. When China cleaned up, they slammed it for being greedy. The CPC cleaned up China for the Chinese people, not to please you Western pearl clutchers. They did the right thing to censor your idiot media, so that they can listen only to genuine complains by the Chinese people, and not be distracted by complains influenced by your idiot media.
