In addition to sprucing up its transport system and taking measures to improve its air quality, Beijing has even had time for over-the-top measures like testing cloud-diffusing technology to ward off untimely rains. But then, as New Delhi's supporters would say, that's because India is a democracy rather than an autocracy: Beijing has not had to contend with citizens' protests the way New Delhi has - from environmentalists protesting construction on the Yamuna...
