With factories shut, traffic restricted, restaurants closed and fires banned throughout Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shandong, authorities have gifted delegates to this week's APEC summit — along with the remaining Beijingers in the city — with crystalline blue skies, a shade that's become known as 'APEC Blue.'
Netizens have also given APEC Blue another, more cynical meaning: a fleeting, insincere and ultimately unreal kind of beauty or affection. For example, "He's not really into you, it's just an APEC blue!"
