SHANGHAI: The environmental protection bureau in the southwestern Chinese city of Zigong has been forced to apologise after insulting a resident who complained about dust pollution at a construction site, the official China Daily reported on Friday.
The resident asked the bureau through the social media application WeChat to take action at the site next to a high school in Zigong, known as China’s « salt city ».
« Nobody would consider you dumb if you did not speak, » the bureau said in an automatic response to the complaint.
The bureau blamed an « intelligent robot » for the reply and promised to tackle the dust problem.
