Can someone explains this map to me? The text says China leads, but the numbers say Vietnam is at 56.2%, greater than China's 40%.

I mean, it's pretty obvious.. China is huge, Vietnam is tiny compared to it. The reforested area is, therefore, much larger in China.

Also vietnam is still recovering from the war I imagine

It's hard to take care of the forest when there is still tons of inexploded murican ordnance in it.

That and the forests got fucked up by free and democratic chemical warfare. Badly.

"Free and democratic chemical warfare"

That's good. I'm stealing that.

the forests are well recovered from the war. it was 50 years ago, and the monsoons really make growth relatively easy.

I stand corrected then.
