The Annual Chinese "Two Meetings" will occur from March 3 to 5th. In light of the Xinjiang native attempted terrorist attack, the Chinese Olicrats have gotten even more paranoid. They handed over usual security from the Beijing Party Security Bureau to the Ministry of Party Security and expanded the security area to not only six provinces surround Beijing, but also Western China including Xinjiang. Here's the full report from China Forbidden News from New Tang Dynasty's YouTube channel.

In Beijing, Complaints About Smog Grow Louder and Retaliation Grows Swifter
Smog and China has been a problem since the early 2000s, and it's not going to improve anyway until China decides to nip this problem in the bud. Of course, they don't care as long as the political elite of Chinese Capitalist Party (The Olicrats) are secure in their health.
Nearly a week into northern China’s latest airpocalypse, the skies over Beijing are murky and acrid with a heavy smog that shrouds the sun. On social media sites, the yellow, choking air has become something of a meme, as residents post depressing photos of their blackened air purifier filters and hazy urban vistas with comments like #nuclearwinter.
Amid the latest round of smog, anger is rising over the Chinese government’s inability to protect the nation from a pollution crisis that has made places like Beijing “unsuitable for human habitation,” as a prominent state-backed think tank stated in a study released this month that was swiftly censored.
Last week, the official Sina Weibo microblog account of the state-run China Central Television Finance Channel posted two scathing indictments of the Chinese government’s environmental failures. “Does anyone still care about Beijing’s smog?” began one, noting that although the “pollution index is off the charts,” no measures had been taken to mitigate the environmental emergency. A few minutes later came the second post, “Beijing municipal government, don’t hide behind the thick smog,” which warned that “the people have grown numb,” but the channel was “issuing a wake-up call: the government can’t act blind.” It must “protect its territory and not act ignorant.”
Both posts were quickly deleted.

It's clear that the Chinese government does not care about what the commoners think, and they do not care about Beijing's smog. And the Beijing government would rather hide behind smog and cry to their "propaganda" department to preserve "stability". If they did and actually act quickly to protect people's health, they will lose money because coal energy is too cheap to stop. If the public finds out about it, they will risk a challenge to whatever legitmacy the party has left. They take quick action to return to stablity when it comes to protests and gatherings using the party securty bureau, why can't they do the same with the environment.
