Just in case anyone missed the "China Bad" and "Tree Depression" tags, this is satire and not a real article.

Damn, thanks for pointing out. I thought this was another one of those but at what cost articles
Is that not the natural state of trees?

The CCP is far from perfect, and they've committed known atrocities against their own people, but it's amazing how hard the billionaires that own these publications are pushing the anti-China narrative, now that Putin is apparently Trump's dom.
This is satire.
I'm mostly in the fuck china camp for their atrocities but fuck most of the major governments and billionaires for the same. Better the asshole who is attempting to do something about climate change than the asshole looking to profit off destroying the environment.
Consider the OP article, is the CCP actually doing anything worse in regards of free press to inform their citizens than the USA? It's pure garbage propaganda on all fronts in all directions and people simply don't know what is real and what is important any more.
If you measure the actual quality of life in the US and China it might be that moving to China would be a good idea. If China would allow immigration lol
The CCP is authoritarian but they can act rationally and make long term plans. Meanwhile in the US and increasingly in western democracies only chaos and dumbassery reigns.
For me it's easier to connect with the things that affect you, I've a heap of Tibetan friends. I've been going to free Tibet protests all my life. My Iraqi neighbour kept a pretty neutral position on USA, he was glad to be in Australia and said that there were a lot of problems in the area from many fronts.
It’s all authoritarian bullshit, east or west. I don’t care what color the boot on my neck is.
These idiots really claiming the Chinese are wallpapering trees
It's satire probably, guessing by the tag "china bad"
"Say the line Bart!"
"But at what cost?"
They literally have vast amounts of super advanced bio-machines capable of turning CO2 and water and nutrients into sustainable building materials, and they mismanage them? For shame!!!
What in the state department?
