More than 20 million people woke last week to a thick, acrid, and noxious smog that settled densely across the Indian capital.

China is a dictatorship, the government decides to do something, no choice but to do it.
India is a democracy, government’s got to convince everyone, including the powerful and moneyed that the thing they want to do is worth it.
India is a federation of ~30 states, with wildly varying levels of democracy. Now this is usually a good thing; it has allowed us to accomodate a great deal of cultural and economic diversity without breaking up. But a major cause of the pollution in Delhi is stubble burning in neighbouring, which the government of Delhi has no power over. And the union (i.e. federal) government is led by a different party, so they don’t co-operate with the Delhi government.
You got no idea how India works, or how dictatorships with a “democracy” mask work, liberal virtue signaller.
Sounds like democracy doesn’t benefit the people idk
Sounds like neither benefits the people.
It should’ve never been bad to begin with. That smog didn’t just magically disappear. It’s in their soil, their water, their body.
Why?
Oh, right, because they are building and growing goods being sold halfway around the world
Sounds like the people have no say otherwise, idk
A democracy where people have a voice that the ruling class can choose to ignore. Hmm.
Democracy runs opposed to capitalism.
Whatever commie
LMFAO the only people who call China a dictatorship are racist weirdos from the west who couldn’t find China on the map. Here’s what people actually living in China have to say https://web.archive.org/web/20230511041927/https://6389062.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6389062/Canva images/Democracy Perception Index 2023.pdf
