After forcing clean, minimalist deserts into becoming busy, messy forests, the CCP regime has been under heavy scrutiny by experts who believe the actions are a decisive step towards a whole new level of authoritarianism.

"There are no regards for the wellbeing of the companies that were established in those areas," says Mike Truckerson, head advisor for the environmental board of POISONCorp. Truckerson, speaking from his country home in Barkdog, Florida, shares his grim first-hand account on what is really happening at the edge of what has been called "the green genocide": "If we don't act fast, reforestation will be unreversible."

      Apparently they're allowed to opt out of stats that make them look bad.

    Love how these are always framed so things look close, but then you look at the numbers and turns out they just pick the most misleading fucking colors lmao.

    Case in point: India is nowhere near China numerically, but the colors are similar.

      Well you'd need to either make China a completely different color to India or make India (and all other countries with a positive value) have an extremely unsaturated color because of how large the difference is. I don't think it's too far fetched to say there was no malice in making them look close, because literally only one country exists in China's range and it wouldn't make sense to adjust the whole scale and the colors for the one country.

      It's also just in hectares or whatever, it's not even like "per square km" or something.

    Sadly the quality of the new forests in China is a pale shadow of the quality of the forests being lost in Brazil :sadness-abysmal:
