Well they did shut down a good chunk of their factories and limit who could drive on what days to curb polution. Did it make a difference? No. Their country is the very reason the Clean Air Act was created, too bad it only hurts the US…

 

And about the economics, the sad truth is that every country (besides the US) hosting the olympics in the past 50 years has had a huge increase in economic power leading up to the olympic games and then a steady decline thereafter. Every country.
