    I am always happy to hear about reforestation, but has somebody understood out of which source the numbers from china are coming? I mean they are sometimes quite the enthusiasts talking about their successes

      the article linked cites the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations as its source, so it’s not using china’s numbers for this

      It’s not like forest cover is hard to verify by satellite imagery. Lying about reforestation and deforestation is hard.

        The satellite imagery shows a net loss compared to CCP figures which show a net gain. China lies more easily than it tells the truth.
