Addressing a live audience as if delivering a TED talk, Chai asks what smog is, where it comes from, and what can be done about it. The reaction online has been overwhelming, and many Internet users hope to see real change emerge from Chai\u2019s investigation. \u201cThis is ushering in the true beginning of China\u2019s new century\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/weibo.com\/2151519610\/C6MjWvyIO\">\u8fd9\u624d\u662f\u8fce\u6765\u4e2d\u56fd\u771f\u6b63\u7684\u65b0\u4e16\u7eaa\u7684\u5f00\u59cb<\/a>), writes @ST_NEET on Weibo.<\/p>\n<p>State media has been central to the success of \u201cUnder the Dome,\u201d but the central government is also trying to manage the response.
