There are live pollution maps of the world if you need an idea if China does that properly but I‘ll have to warn you that you‘ll most likely be disappointed and somewhat terrified.
I meant that I don’t know if these trash incinerators are managed properly. I’m well aware that in general there’s a crapload of unmanaged pollution and a ton of other problems around, but like every other country China is slowly improving their stuff so it’s not impossible that new plants would be up to modern standards.
