In this photo taken Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014, Li Xianting, a film critic and founder of the Li Xianting Film Fund, the organizer of the Beijing Independent Film Festival smokes as he meets journalists after he was released in Beijing, China.

In this Friday, Aug. 8, 2014 photo, a sheep herder looks over sheep near a state-of-the-art power plant that turns millions of tons of coal every year into methane in northern China's Inner Mongolia province.

Both day and night, the rumble of this power plant echoes across the ancient steppe, and its acrid stench travels dozens of miles away. (AP Photo/Jack Chang)
