The Chinese prime minister has ordered the country's vast bureaucracy
to improve environmental protection, in a shift away from the
government's 25-year policy of economic growth at all costs.
The move comes as Beijing experiences some of the foulest pollution in
years. Dust storms, exhaust emissions and grit from building sites have
choked the skies, turning the streets yellow and prompting health
warnings that children should be kept indoors with the windows closed.
