Social media users express incredulity that the capital was ranked the country’s best city to live in while disaster-hit Tianjin was ranked the second best
Chinese internet users have mocked a report claiming that Beijing is the country’s most liveable city even as they enjoy unusually blue skies in the lead-up to a major military parade.
China’s capital city ranked 69th out of the world’s 140 most liveable cities in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) semi-annual survey, released this week.
“Best joke of the week” said one user of Weibo, China’s Twitter.
“Did they get extra points for all the smog?” said another wag.

This is terrific news! The more the Chinese people take to social media to vent frustration with their administration the faster the elements of change can infuse themselves within that country and business and political worlds. The freedom of vote will lead to the freedom of information and greater protections for the people and companies conducting business in the country.
