China To Require Pilots To Train To Lower Landing Minimums, Domestic Flights Only
(AP) Chinese aviation authorities will soon require captains of domestic flights into Beijing to master low-visibility landings to combat chronic flight delays that have been worsened by heavy smog. (airnation.net) 기타...

Now even less emphasis on being able to perform a visual approach :)
Los Angeles has been dealing with their 'smog' for decades, and it was never this bad. Beijing better create policy to deal with their 'smog'. It will likely also be decades before they see any kind of marked improvement in their city as well.
Point being, if you're going to have smog, you might as well know how to land in it.

Apparently they are happy with the smog.
Well, the cost of cleaning it up is why their stuff sells so cheap among other things. I don't think though, that LA was this bad on it's worst day.
I'm thinking they need to just go to auto land cause it's gonna be zero zero soon. Lol
It's much worse, which is why nothing short of Herculean efforts will make a substantial change in the environmental conditions.
Maybe a massive build out of nuclear plant and outlawing of all combustion engine road vehicles could be the beginning of change. That would likely take decades, even with top-down autocratic rule.
But even after all that, they'd still have a massive environmental impact from all that industrial pollution alone.
So learning to fly in smog seems like the prudent thing to do. It will be their future for the foreseeable future.

I'm kinda like James, hit the auto land and let's go. The equipment is probably available on most of their planes. Train 'em up, learn 'em how to handle a seat pucker and a CAT3 or better. If that gets any worse over there they may have to get something for the ground too.
