A Tale Of Two Countries of the Day: Redditor hayzen77 recently traveled from Australia to China and snapped these “before and after” shots following takeoff and prior to landing.

Surge72 correctly notes that these two photos were taken at varying altitudes, “thereby increasing the contrast between the two photos.” Still, as mikecngan points out, while the comparison may be a bit skewed, “China still sucks”:

[reddit.]

Skewed comparison indeed. I’ve just travelled from Australia to China and back myself. Australia is currently going through SUMMER; China is going through WINTER. Of course the contrast will look even more stark.

(That said, it depends which part of China you travel to. Beijing is quite hideous with smog and dust from the north)

Weather may “suck”, but I think the world is being unduly hard on China in terms of its environmental condition. It’s impossible to completely manage 1.3 billion people and what poisonous toxins they cultivate. Still, a lot of other things make up for it. :D
