BEIJING - An online documentary on China's notorious smog has become a viral sensation with more than 155 million views just one day after it was released, state media said Monday.

Under the Dome, a documentary privately produced by Chai Jing, a former anchor with state broadcaster China Central Television, detailed causes of atmospheric pollution in the country.

They included slack government supervision and lenient penalties for polluters.

The 103-minute film was first uploaded on domestic websites on Saturday and had been viewed more than 155 million times a day later, the Global Times said.

It included interviews with officials from London and Los Angeles, two formerly heavily polluted cities, on how they have sought to control the issue.
