IIRC, about half of the particulate pollution in China's cities is
from construction. Come of it building nuclear power plants; and a
bit more from building newer coal-fired power stations that burn
more cleanly and efficiently than the dozens of smaller stations
that each replaced.

Man-made pollution in China is being reduced in the long run. But
people are still cooking and heating with poorly controlled gas
fires; if not coal; which is bad when population density is very
high.

Half of the rest is "natural" with dust/sand blown in from the
deserts.

Nature (weather conditions) often makes man-made pollution worse.
Either by allowing it to accummulate and/or by adding e.g. humidity
that contributes to the actual making of smog.
