I remember travelling through rural China in the early 2000's the road was lined with dense forest. The driver turned off and showed me that the forest only extended 100 m either side of the road, after which there was essentially desert. They had basically taken a massive grant from the world heritage fund to replant a large area of deforested land, millions of square km (or something like that), pocketed most of it and just planted the roadsides so they could drive the representatives around to see the results. Thats china folks.

✔️ It amazes me how many American "progressives" believe that China _IS_ an environmentally responsible country! They believe it, because the American "news" media rarely reports on Chinese/CCP corruption and environmental issues. But since the media routinely talk about how China produces most of the green energy technology, batteries, solar cells, etc, the average "progressive" is under the delusion that Chinese companies are producing that green energy stuff for use _in China_ to protect their own environment. They can't seem to grasp the, uhm, _complex concept_ that they are actually producing green energy stuff for sale ELSEWHERE! Analogy: Just because the Colombian drug cartels produce lots of cocaine, it doesn't mean the cartel members are the ones snorting and smoking it all!

Also when I was in Laos I was in a tour and we took the slow boat through the Mekong river and there were a crazy amount of garbage bags floating around and our tour guide told us that they are a "gift" from china, it was really sad to see villagers and kids swimming in the river surrounded by garbage bags.

I was in China in 2006. The company I worked for has been asked by the Chinese to consider investing in several plants (the company passed on investing). At that time, China was adding the equivalent of the power generating capacity of the UK in coal plants every year. We saw a lot of polluting facilities. I mentioned to one of our guides that they should spend a little more time/money on dealing with the pollution. She told me that the gov't told them that they needed to get rich first. I told her she should take a lesson from the US and go slower, pollute less and not have to clean up like we have to. Her response was no, we have to get rich first. Doesn't seem like that worked out well.

They also covered up the market places in view from the Chong an Avenue making them look like quality living accommodation. They also turned off all the factories for 2 weeks sending the workers home and we saw blue sky and mountains in the distance for the first time ever!

We experienced a similar thing in an EU republic, that was needless to say, a "former" eastern block republic. Our water smelled like a benzine (petroleum) and the medical staff taking the samples noticed it immediately whilst filling their glass bottles/samples. Yet the results said, "no smell, no taste" "safe to drink". Nothing to do with the industries and practices in that town, nothing to do with the Chem industry next to the waterway etc etc etc. When I approached a regional inspector on the matter, he told me openly that there is nothing he can do about it, as when he mentioned it to his superiors in the capital city, they said to him, "what would you have us do? Put that industry in our capital city?" So, yeah, it all comes down to the same ol' concept of "more and less important people", the expendibles vs those that matter, the rural vs the city folk, the voting clusters and their perceived importance in a society they control and impose their self centred immorality on. I'm with Maggie Thatcher on this one, no tolerance for "socialism" (or communism) as it always has a very bloody ending.

The other issues is that wealthy Nordic countrys (Like denmark) achieve their wealth through their main exports gas and oil. The "green" lifestyle is not feasible to facilitate cheaply for a large group of people so to maintain that lifestyle for their citizens these countries rely on the wealth generated through the export of fossil fuels. So, while denmark may not have the same climate impact as a larger nation like China its emissions have not been effectively lowered only moved into other nations through their export of fossil fuels.

Originally it was wool, and the poor quality of that recycled wool is how the word "shoddy" entered the language meaning cheap.

If they were to start a comprehensive soil remediation program today, it would take them 20 years to get things back on track.

The Soviet Union had a little bit of this problem too. The central government published goals, and nobody wanted to tell them that the goals weren't being met, so they fudged all the numbers, and then nobody in Moscow actually knew how bad things were. That's what a shoot-the-messenger culture of fear does: it prevents problems from being addressed, because the people who are in a position to do anything about them, are not aware of the extent of the problem. China has possibly the worst case of this syndrome in modern history. A lot of authoritarian countries have a "don't tell Dad when something's wrong" culture, but China has cranked it up to eleven and then hooked up a bunch of amplifiers and aimed the speakers at the microphones, as it were.

I think there's hope from the Western World that we can bleed down Russia like we did in Afghanistan in the 80's, but I believe they're intelligently bleeding everyone else down.

And party does it for many reasons, PR on the world stage is one of them. So humans being humans start to cut corners, party is ignoring it and gives even more tasks, so they cut corners even harder. After some time you end so deep into this BS-fake ignorance hole that neither of sides can stop playing. And then we see planting stones or painting rocks.

@KGH3000 6 месяцев назад

But you have to find something that can grow in whatever the local conditions are and spend money maintaining it. Even in areas where crops can be grown, it still might not be economical to do so if the yield will not cover the expense of watering/tending to those crops. There are places in the US that do similar things, not for aerial photography that I'm aware of but definitely making views from highways artificially nice. In West Virginia and throughout Appalachia there are huge areas where entire mountains have been destroyed and pushed into adjacent valleys to get to coal seams more easily. I've seen it in person and it literally looks like a moonscape. It also contaminates waterways with toxic heavy metals that were buried deep within the mountain. All of that environmental damage and habitat destruction is hidden from view of main roads behind pleasant-looking green mountains. It's not exactly the same as painting something green but it's a thin facade concealing massive environmental damage. If people driving through saw the mountaintop removal sites they would be shocked and people would be talking about it, making it more difficult for them to continue. (FYI mountaintop removal is similar to what's called strip mining but on a much larger scale)

China is incredibly scary; I mean imagine going to a car trip with your friends. You're driving along the countryside, watching fields of cotton, lush green mountains, and beautiful forests. When suddenly you have to stop for a bathroom break, you jump out of the car and decide to walk just 10 steps into the greenery, and then suddenly you realize, the leaves are a little too green. I mean leaves are green, but somehow these leaves are strangely green it doesn't even make sense. You touch the leaves to feel their texture and soon as you touch them, they simply fall apart like the dead and dry leaves they really are. Imagine the eeriness of the situation when you realize that all the green plains, dark lush forests, and beautiful cotton fields that you were looking at for the past few hours were all fake. None of them were real, maybe some were, but how can you tell? You have a few hours of your trip remaining, you hop back in the car, and go back to looking at the sceneries that pass you by. But now you're not so sure, and it's not the same as it was a few minutes ago.

It's giving me Great Leap Forward vibes as well. The tale I heard was that the newly-collectivised farms were competing with each other to get the biggest production score but the measurements that were used were really stupid. It seems that nobody had the patience to wait for the crop to be harvested so they had mid-cycle scores that were calculated from a show field on each farm. Can't have the inspectors inspecting the whole farm or even half of it, ain't nobody got time fo' dat. The enterprising middle managers running the farms realised that they could boost their scores by stacking the show field with the best plants cherrypicked from the rest of the farm. Then they realised that they could boost their scores even more by planting the show fields much more densely to make them look even more productive. However, these were middle managers and not rice farmers, for rice farmers know that if you plant rice too densely it rots, and so the show fields rotted. Can't have inspectors seeing a field of rotting rice plants so now you have to bin them and replant the show field with more rice cherrypicked from the rest of the farm. Repeat that process enough times and you've consumed a significant proportion of your production for the purpose of appearing more productive. Cue famine.

@TheBeholder333 11 месяцев назад

in Poland during soviet jurisdiction 60-90's the factories were expected to work at a loss for the government, however they were strictly inspected on the production cost. The problem was in the way they measured it as only the costs were taken into account, which ironically put on the pedestal the factories that were not producing anything at all, due to high employment cost of workers. communism is truly a fascinating case study of how far corruption and stupidity can get while walking hand in hand.
