The great green wall has been spoken about by the BBC covering both the African and Chinese great green walls. Though I can't say for the American news networks the BBC has covered this in one of there longer stories as well as video stories.

Johnny Appleseed would be proud!

Might almost start to catch up to the billions that they cut down in the past.

You're right. Because we use the world's most advanced shopping app, Alipay. We Chinese get virtual energy every time they shop. Energy can buy virtual trees. Then the Alibaba company will help us plant trees, which is the best engineer in green the Great Wall. I have 6 trees in the desert. Ha ha ha. We have 1 billion 400 million Chinese. An average of 6 trees per person. How many trees are there? You'll see

John Wedderburn very impressive..I'm speechless

Dave XB Yeah thanks to the Great Leap Forward movement we cut down a lot of trees then realized it was a horrible mistake and we’re trying to make up, but I’d still think those people in North West made a great achievement

You are so late including these chinese!! Look up Great Green Wall in Africa.....

Yeah and the great green wall in China is dead now. They didn’t maintain it after planning and they all died.

Larry Garoth source？

Chai Allen Do a quick google search. Make sure to check the dates. The wall is all but dead and dying. On the bright side though, the project’s planting tree’s fast enough it’s not noticeable to the average eye, unfortunately without maintenance and an inability for birds to return to this forest is, like I said, causing its death or to be dying. Desertification still spreads, a quick google search will show that.

Larry Garoth So you are saying the greening rate are all made up numbers?

Like when Mao commanded everyone to destroy all the forests that held the desert back. They just did it.

well of course its their attitude. they r the ones who manufacture it after all

@@samhermans1402 Not necessarily helping.. What they are planting are bushes and such.. But most of these are incredibly demanding in nutrition.. Meaning all those plans will suck away all the nutrition in the ground that is there meaning there will be very little actual plan diversity in that region and just the same plants reoccurring constantly.. So a single disease could wipe it all out.. It is the kind of symbolism the world doesn't need because those plans contribute nothing to avoiding actual climate change.. Try planting a actual tree or other species of plants there actual contributing the the ecology and you see that they will die quickly because they just can''t get enough nutrition from the ground because of the bushes sucking it all up.. This is actually 1 big problem in Europe where there are some species of plant becoming so dominant in a field that it starves off other plants.. While those are themselves not that useful for the ecology either.. There is actually a word for it, but I forgot it at this moment.. But essentially where entire fields are devoid of life except a few reoccurring plants that are incredibly nutrition demanding.. That is just as bad if not worse then a desert is for animals

@John Wood Obviously, that's why they're working so hard to fix it

@@DutchGabbers thanks for your input. I agree natural occurring plants would be better. But maybe that’s planned in a next fase of the project.

Well to be fair... "migrants" go somewhere by choice, whereas "refugees" are forced to leave their home. Also the overall piece - including the interview - was quite positive toward China's efforts, not negative.

Well a refugee is only a refugee until they have been to a safe place where they could stay or had stayed for a while. So maybe they relocated these people to safe places which made them no longer refugees when thry were moved the town we see.

Carrie Perkins why should you? Are you a Feminist?

*+Carrie Perkins* *>For some strange reason, as a woman, as soon as I see the letters MGTOW I instantly get really annoyed* That's pretty normal. Men (as a general rule) have been so loyal, caring and supportive of women for so long that women have started to think of men as their property. And when men decide to walk away from women they often react as if we've stolen something from them, something they think they own. Although there are exceptions, as a general rule women treat men pretty badly in our society. Their disloyalty, the fact that they file for divorce at such a terrible rate, and how they try to destroy the man during the divorce is well known. It shouldn't be a surprise that so many men are walking away. It pretty much had to happen. If you had a 50% chance of your parachute failing to open, would you really decide to go sky diving? I looked at those odds and did the math then decided I could never marry. It's just too dangerous. I made that decision in the spring of 1997. It's not all bad though. Without the drag factor of supporting a woman, *her kids* and her divorce lawyer, I've done pretty well for myself. I have a man's earning capacity but a single man's expenses. Nice paid off house on a half acre, massive savings and investments that should do very well during this next financial crisis, and I live comfortably on 30% of my after tax income. I'm taking steps to retire (about 12 years early) and move to a low cost of living country like Cambodia or Thailand. I plan to eat a lot of mangoes and learn how to wind surf, but i doubt I'll do any dating. Sure the women there are eager to marry a man like me but women in the west have beat me down so severely that I prefer porn over actual women. *MGTOW* . .
