So you think that if the US would improve slightly it would be more beneficial to the air quality than if China simply started filtering their factories?
Have you ever been to China? Their air quality there is much more pressing of a problem than it is anywhere in the world.
To me it just seems that you're in the habit of holding the US to a higher standard. If you are like most Germans you belive that you have the higher moral ground when it comes to the environment. I agree that Germany is advanced in this area but why are you more critical of the US than of China? Do you simply expect less from China? And if so why?
