The widespread use of masks in these countries seriously predates the appearance of Covid-19, or sundry other infectious agents.

Primary motivator for mask wearing is the near constant smog, most of which originates in China and wafts eastward.

Agree, but as you stated "primary", it's not the only reason.

China loves its coal burning plants, spewing out lots of particulate pollutants, that can be sucessfully filtered by surgical masks.

Surgical masks wouldn't do a very good job filtering out the gaseous components of photochemical smog (nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, ground-level ozone, and volatile organic compounds like hydrocarbons), but could do a pretty good job filtering out smoke particulates in photochemical smog



Old King Coal was a filthy old soul and a filthy old soul was he.
He called for his asthma, and he called for his emphysema, and he called for his fiddlers with lung cancer.
