LTE: The Price Of Progress, China Style

Regarding "World's largest building opens its doors in China" (Sunday Business), I couldn't help but do a web search to see more pictures of the massive mall complex in the city of Chengdu.  All of the dozens of exterior shots showed the New Century Global Center enshrouded in smog.
 
 
Ironically, the smog made the building possible, and at least in part, the smog exists because of the building.  It could be that the 500 foot wide Jumbotron inside the building next to the artificial beach will be the only place the locals will be able to see a sunset for a while.
