Beijing pollution fight 'greater than for Olympics'

A leading figure of the Beijing Olympics said the capital is doing more to ensure blue skies than it did for the historic event.

"We went all out to improve the environment and had 'truly exceptional Games' in 2008," said Ji Lin, who was head of venue construction for the Olympics.

"Now we are addressing air pollution on a larger scale and with more investment than was possible when we prepared for the Games."
