A China Daily report today mentions Beijing’s 2010 Blue Sky Day target as 266. This is the first time I’ve seen the target referenced; I’m not sure how/when they set or publicize them. Perhaps they are in Beijing’s Five Year Plan. Does anyone know?

This China Daily report also mentions Beijing’s 2009 Blue Sky Day total, 285, representing the first time I’ve seen it mentioned in English-language domestic media (although Xinhua covered the accomplishment in Chinese on 1/1.)

Recent targets and totals are shown below. Note that the 2010 target is below the number of Blue Sky Days achieved in both 2008 and 2009.
