Anyone living in China at the moment will know just how serious the pollution has become, and while we know it is bad it is stories like this one which really brings the situation in to perspective!
The image above shows a giant outdoor TV showing the sunrise for Beijingers who are no longer able to watch the real breaking of the dawn due to the amount of smog filling the skies of the capital.
Gizchina News of the week
From the logo in the left hand of the TV it appears residence of Beijing are being treated to sunrises from around China, the one being shown here is from someplace in Shandong province.
It is interesting to see technology used in such away, but we would much prefer a new breakthrough which would clean up China’s ever polluted cities.

That’s gotta duck. ..No amount of 4k or 10k HD can replicate the sight of real sunrise!
Not sure if he was going to say suck or actually meant to say duck.
i saw it on reddit a while ago. people being there at the time said it was an ad, not actually trying to replace the sunrise. still funny.
They need a big Vacuum cleaner to suck that Smog.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is absolutely the most f*cking stupid thing they could do. Hey there is so much smug, let’s use a giant TV which consumes a lot of energy to simulate the sunrise. What the **** is wrong with people really? I know things are bad in China same as in the West, but I never knew they already hit rock bottom.
They really need to to ban the ban on press freedom because at least then stupid shit like this wouldn’t be happening.
It’s sad to see the bad air quality in China like this these days in winter… hopefully they’ll speed up that action plan so that we’ll see cleaner air in a couple of years, if not sooner (probably not…)
like something from a science fiction movie
Next step: play sunrises and twilights on your home’s walls! o.O
(Total recall’s style -if I don’t remember badly)
Decades of ignoring environment issues have finally caught up. Although western giant corporations are as much at fault as the greedy Chinese government. Sure it’s cheaper to use Chinese slave labor and not give a shit about pollution, but this is the result.
Did you know that The Soviet Union used to be a “model citizen” when it came to environmental issues. That of course was just propaganda and people were dying because of the pollution. That sure looks to be happening in China now. I wish the Chinese people good luck with dealing that issues.
cheap mobilephones = pollution
Saw that on ZeroHedge(dot)com last week..and I was like…’what da f$%&’
Please, double check FAKE stories from Internet.
This screen is located in Tiananmen Square and is only showing a touristic video of Shandong province… Nothing about ‘displaying’ sunrises at all!
The smog, on the other hand, is sadly true… 🙁
