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
Okay thanks, I guess I overlooked that :)
Source for your claim that they sometimes lie about their accomplishments?
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.
You don't provide sources, so here are some that directly contradict your claim:
