India's cities are better -- but not that much better. In January 2013, Beijing made headlines for a record-high PM2.5 of 755 mg/m^3. Nobody paid any attention to New Delhi, whose PM2.5 topped out at 565 mg/m^3 the next day.

India's GDP is currently 1/4 that of China. Imagine how bad things will get in another 10 years, when India's GDP reaches China's current GDP.
