If China stand with a desire, they can make pissible seems impossible…keep it up CHiNA
Incredible, the forecast in implementing the plants for converting desert into forest. Unbelievable. Chinese can do anything beyond impossible 🙋🏼
way too long, i gave up at 3 minutes
China propaganda? I bet all these commentators took money for their spots…
Chinese propaganda. It all died. More attempts by the CCP criminals to create history that never happened.
IF you could focus more on the science. and leave the politics out – you would generate more interest and support for successful Chinese projects in the desert. Instead you come across like a mouthpiece. Just stay with the story, and stay out of propaganda. Its so hollow. Really.
Clickbait. They probably painted the desert green like they do everything else.
This is what they do on construction sites. They will spray a special glue mixed with grass seeds to prevent this from happening.

I hate sand. – Anakin, probably
So it was right to mock them and laugh because the methonds in the beeginning were wrong and China was burying money in the desert.
There are good and bad people willing to help or hinder the forest. But China did manage to change the sand to forest which required promote yet other nations are not doing it due to selfish or say paid workers to work long term restore. In simple word or meaning it required leadership and fund(shady and pretend mixed into the green forest that later years). It was a couple two people work hard to restore the forest. Yet the man pass away while the women kept working hard. Yet the gov wanted to erase their contribution but people fought back.(corrupt people from gov). Well there other people did work hard as well in different nations. In later years we seen that they change to green forest to fake forest for stealing money instead of restoring. Basic there con artist that ruin the restore forest to sand back.
Mais c'est eux qui pille les forêts du monde entier en tout cas
10 years ago, everyone laughed… but now the world is watching in awe.
Is this the future of fighting climate change? Or just a rare exception?
