China is a dictatorship, the government decides to do something, no choice but to do it.

India is a democracy, government's got to convince everyone, including the powerful and moneyed that the thing they want to do is worth it.

Sounds like neither benefits the people.

It should've never been bad to begin with. That smog didn't just magically disappear. It's in their soil, their water, their body.
