China's foulest fortnight for air pollution in memory has rekindled a tongue-in-cheek campaign by a multimillionaire with a streak of showmanship who is selling canned fresh air.
Chen
Guangbiao, who made his fortune in the recycling business and is a
high-profile philanthropist, on Wednesday handed out soda pop-sized cans
of air, purportedly from far-flung, pristine regions of China such as
Xinjiang in the northwest to Taiwan, the southeast coast.
"I
want to tell mayors, county chiefs and heads of big companies: don't
just chase GDP growth, don't chase the biggest profits at the expense of
our children and grandchildren and at the cost of sacrificing our
ecological environment", Chen said.
