Why are you so desperately trying to make China look bad? What are the benefits other than selling videos?
@@petermages9482 it is not just China but all communist countries. He is trying to increase international awareness to help the Chinese people. They cannot speak for themselves as with any communist country. He loves the people but hates despots like yourself that thrive off of the misery of others. By the way, I love your fake CZcams channel!🤣
Don't you have more interesting things to do with your life than demonise other people?Look at yourself trying so hard to be something you are not!

I remember travelling through rural China in the early 2000's the road was lined with dense forest. The driver turned off and showed me that the forest only extended 100 m either side of the road, after which there was essentially desert. They had basically taken a massive grant from the world heritage fund to replant a large area of deforested land, millions of square km (or something like that), pocketed most of it and just planted the roadsides so they could drive the representatives around to see the results. Thats china folks.
not just china, thats most countries. i mean the pocketing the money thing at the end. they lie about needing it, use the smallest amount on the actual issue and pocket the rest of it. its been happening all over for centuries and its not stopping anytime soon sadly. it disgusts me so much just how money has made people into monsters. theres no reason we all can't live decent lives ya know? but greed for money ruins it for everyone. it sickens me.
@@Parasiteve other country doesn't claim they are corruption free constantly, unlike a certain yellow bear
Yep that’s China... nothing but lies and façade.
@@Parasiteve Also happens in Africa. In Mozambique, a local told me that they always use donated aid money to build schools right along the main road. The schools are often empty but it's important to have the buildings look colorful and lined up along the main road for when the donors come to visit. So they will send more money that corrupt local government officials can steal.
Where in China specifically? Any other details? Coordinates on google maps?
I lived in China when the Olympic Committee were inspecting Beijing as a potential city to hold the Games. They painted all the roadsides green to give the impression that the verges were grass, not dirt! They also covered up the market places in view from the Chong an Avenue making them look like quality living accommodation. They also turned off all the factories for 2 weeks sending the workers home and we saw blue sky and mountains in the distance for the first time ever!
As soon as the Committee inspectors left, it was back to normal within a day or two!
Same happened when I was in Shanghai a few years ago and over in neighbouring Hangzhou was where the G20 or G8 or whatever G it was at the time. Factories paid to close for 2 weeks, clear blue skies, then after that back to dystopia smog.

I live in a public apartment complex in Tokyo where the residents are responsible for taking care of the basics of the landscape and environment (we call them 団地 "Danchi") and we had problems with a chinese family in the past because everyone wanted to take turns to keep the green grass low and nice to see, while all the chinese kept b*tching it was much easier and efficient to just uproot everything and spray herbicide, making our beautiful public garden a mars wasteland so we won't have to "waste time" maintaning it. Gross!
Here in Chile old town houses with nice gardens, in addition to normal houses and flats, are getting bought by the Chinese, they cut down all the trees and pave the soil because it's cheaper for them that way, so they don't have to spend any time or money on watering and caring for the garden.
They come here as workers for the Chinese stores that are now getting installed on every city in the country, this is all staged by the Chinese millionaires, controlling their workers from outside, from installing the stores, buying the homes, running the entire thing, all controlled from the outside.
This has made people here absolutely despise the Chinese, they don't want anything with the Chinese because they, as a whole, are perceived as a plague, a despicable kind of people that ruin everything you love about your city. Pretty sad considering there are Chinese people with good intentions who come here to live normally like any immigrant, not as a company puppet, being looked down to because of their country of birth.
The Overseas Chinese can't stand the mainlanders. During the cultural revolution they removed, destroyed, killed off any semblance of their past. The mores and customs that tie society together were removed.
In the West we are seeing it being carried out once again; communism rebranded.
Typical Chinese attitude. Fast, low quality, and no forethought.
Their solution was deadass “You don’t have to take care of anything if everything is dead”
They have such a shit attitude to everything, even when I verse Chinese players in games they are often cheating and use the most scum tactics, also they never show honour before and after a fight.
Something is deeply wrong with them...

@@chrise842 So is america :/
@@chrise842 thats just the name on the paper. in reality its not about "developmental aid", its about business! everytime one of our political representatives flying over there, there are dozons of industry leaders either in the same or an additional airplane. its an "investment", money that will be spent by some chinese government controlled or even private companys on german tec and machinery. those few hundred millions of "sparechange" will lead and seal deals worth multi billions of dollars, which will be responsible for lots of GDP (jobs and taxes being paid) in germany.

If China put half as much effort into covering up the destruction of their environment into finding actual solutions, the possibilities would be endless
It's a desert though what's the point. Deserts exist.
Such are the inefficiencies of socialism.
@@cobusvanderlinde6871 You actually believe the Chinese Capitalist Policestate that it is socialist?
✔️ It amazes me how many American "progressives" believe that China _IS_ an environmentally responsible country! They believe it, because the American "news" media rarely reports on Chinese/CCP corruption and environmental issues. But since the media routinely talk about how China produces most of the green energy technology, batteries, solar cells, etc, the average "progressive" is under the delusion that Chinese companies are producing that green energy stuff for use _in China_ to protect their own environment.
They can't seem to grasp the, uhm, _complex concept_ that they are actually producing green energy stuff for sale ELSEWHERE!
Analogy: Just because the Colombian drug cartels produce lots of cocaine, it doesn't mean the cartel members are the ones snorting and smoking it all!
@@greggfisher7365 Then even more reason to focus on things that actually matter.
To be clear: Here in the US, there are state programs that do hydroseeding along the roads to prevent erosion. There is zero prep work and it looks just like that. They just drive along spraying.
Areas along the highways in my state were hydroseeded. It worked out very well.
But here in the US we have great soil in most places. It certainly wouldn't work in the desert or anywhere that doesn't have nutrients in the soil.
@@thahitman2 Sometimes, even here in the US, projects are done because money was appropriated for them, regardless if they make sense.

This stones gonna cover ground from sun and wind -> less water changed into vapour and less of dust pulled up in air by the wind as this forest of stoneds on rebars will be very effective at sucking energy out of any wind.

@@Bialy_1 Thanks for writing complete rubbish.
This isn’t even China .
I remember in 2018 I was traveling to Southeast Asia and had to do a 5hrs lay over in Beijing and I was shocked to see the amount of air pollution even inside the airport it was like foggy inside the building and was impossible to see the other end of the terminal, after a couple of hours I started coughing and my throat was irritated and outside the visibility was 0, I don't know how planes were able to fly in those conditions. Also when I was in Laos I was in a tour and we took the slow boat through the Mekong river and there were a crazy amount of garbage bags floating around and our tour guide told us that they are a "gift" from china, it was really sad to see villagers and kids swimming in the river surrounded by garbage bags.
I live in Beijing and the Chinese have virtually done away with the smog. As they have subsidized electric vehicles to the point where I'm surprised when I hear a gas combustion engine. There could be a whole bunch pf stuff going on in Beijing but air pollution isn't one of them.

We used to import cookware from a Shanghai manufacturer. When we had the products tested for toxins, the results were downright scary... as it turned out, the manufacturer "washed" the final products with water from a local well - even the residue from the evaporated water was making the product so toxic that it could not be sold in the EU...
By local well, you mean the industrial waste pool they wash everything in. There is no such thing as clean fresh water in China. It doesn't exist. Even their drinking water in the pipes aren't clean, so there's definitely not some magical untouched fresh water supply.
That's horrifying, but not quite as horrifying as realising that locals would be drinking, bathing and washing with that toxic water.
Feel bad for China that it supplied the world with labors then the world turns back like this. Let's switch things around! The Western supply China products at cheap prices and working 12 hours a day and 6 - 7 days a week! We will make sure we will check how quality your products are as well. We will be very picky!
@@0animalproductworld558 Nobody forced you to. The CCP has been on a world domination mission and it turns out they're too incompetent to rule the world. The West went through an industrial phase and we didn't come close to doing this level of stupid shit.
@@0animalproductworld558 Do you think the rest of the world doesn't provide the world with their labor? The world provided China with modern manufacturing technology to enable its people to be able to even have labor to do. Without it, there would be hundreds of millions of jobless people in China, and China would still be living in the 15th century.
This is a good example of why I warn all my family about buying anything on Amazon, specifically when it comes to makeup or any kind of product you would put on your body.

That $5 bargain you think you got could be full of arsenic or mercury and you would have no idea. My sis bought some garbage nail polish last year and her fingers swelled up. It's insane to me that our governments just allow this dangerous garbage to flood our markets.
So true!!

China's actual GDP is equal to or under Japan's and their population is closer to 900 million. Never trust an authoritarian regime's numbers, especially when their financial data is a 'state secret' and they need a huge influx of foreign capital to even pretend to function as a country.

Specifically, the rocks on rebar is most likely trying to make it look like the location is cultivating cotton. I have lived near cotton fields in both California and Alabama, and from a distance that is exactly what it looks like. And China is claiming to be the second largest producer of cotton in the world. This just makes me wonder how much of that production is real, and how much is fake.
@michaelmartin4552 Judging from how high the price of cotton clothes has become, I'd guess much cotton production is fake. I recently purchased two new "linen" blouses on Ebay from China and BOTH blouses turned out to be polyester, not the linen the Sellers had advertised, so they will be returned.
@@AshkenaziChristian you may already be aware of this, but for those unaware linen is made from flax, not cotton, so this is evidence of deception but not necessarily evidence of cotton trickery
@@niceguy191 Thanks, but I am aware linen is from flax and not cotton. My main point was the Chinese are trying to pass off polyester for linen.
@@AshkenaziChristian At least we have not heard of them using "Shoddy Cotton" as of yet, but it would not surprise me if that starts making it's way into export products as China is a leading source of shoddy.
And for those that do not know, "Shoddy" is actually a term for recycling fibers for reuse in clothing. Originally it was wool, and the poor quality of that recycled wool is how the word "shoddy" entered the language meaning cheap. China has been doing it also with cotton and polyester, so now I wonder how much of what is being sold is not "virgin fiber", but in reality shoddy.
I assume they use executed criminal hair as cotton.
I literally would never go to China out of fear of the food prep🤢
Hey rebar and rocks is the breakfast of champions.
I would not go to China for fear of being imprisoned in some sort of political power play due to being a US citizen. Especially now, under the Biden administration, which has proven to be toothless and weak in international affairs, I'm not Black or LGBT, so they wouldn't be bothered to negotiate for me like they did for a certain WNBA star.

In the past Iran sprayed oil onto desert to stabilize the soil, and retain moisture for long enough to establish desert shrubs to hold the soil down with roots, and shelter it from the wind as a flagship project.
In my home town in New Jersey in the 60's, we had only one ball field. It was all dirt and every year a local oil company would spray the dirt down with oil to keep it down, and we would just play ball over it.

The last time I travelled to China - around 2012 - I lost my voice. I sounded awful when I tried to speak, never had anything like that, and it was so bad, and I could only put it down to a reaction to the extent of the air-pollution. There was this constant darkness over the place, like a dense fog around the clock. The moment I left China - some 9 days later - my throat began to clear up and my voice began to return. Again - never had anything like this.
I had constant sinus infections when I lived there. Stinging eyes, burning throat, dizziness, headaches, and nausea on high pollution days (which was many of them). Awful place.
Everything what comes from CCP-NAZI-China is a FAKE, FASADE, PROPAGANDA, LIE and BETRAY!
Same thing for me when I went to Chengdu around the same time. Massive GI issues every day. I ended up in the ER the day before my wedding. I went to one of the “best” hospitals in the city. Care quality pales in comparison to the US. Still loved the food there though. 😅
I’m never visiting that toxic ass country 🤮
Its kind of ironic, under mao they took peoples iron and steel to use in factories and forced people into the fields. Now they force people into factories and put the iron and steel in the fields.
Also ironic that by them painting the fields to look like its fertile they are actually going to kill all the plants and toxify the soil.
As for the stones on rebar. Wouldn’t it be easier and probably cheaper then paying for rebar and labor to just dump a couple loads of gravel off and cover the entire bare ground with a thin layer of gravel?
but then it doesnt look green lol
rebars are probably paid by government for construction that never happened.
The footage of painting the dirt green is a natural sealant which is used in construction sites for containing loose dirt on the surface so it does not blow away in the wind, its used in nearly every country
Even over rocks?
@mikemccormack3997 yes, it's not to keep the dirt/rocks to use for later, is to stop dirt blowing away off the sites into neighbouring regions
Yep. It’s when people use false evidence to further push their story gets me very sceptical of their agenda.
Next story I'm waiting to hear is that this green paint was toxic to the environment and has made every area they sprayed into a true toxic wasteland.
I highly doubt a paint could cause a wasteland, but I'd be willing to bet that is isn't healthy. A matter of degree I suppose.

It's actually toxic and contains zombie seed resulting in a toxic zombie filled ch-ch-chi-Chia-na pet.
Why diseases and viruses are coming from China pollution.
Well, we can guess that it is the cheapest paint possible, which means it is toxic
It would not surprise me to hear they discover the green dye contains lead and other toxic materials. Who can forget the pet food debacle...the food killing our pets or lead in kids toys, etc.
Judging by the tint and hue of the green paint they're spraying from fire hoses it almost looks like it's made from a copper salt.
These are usually copper phthalocyanines. They are not harmful, really, but still insane because some chemical factory had to make those pigments...
Not only pet food. Remember the plastic in baby formula? I do not buy any food grown in China, or supposedly grown in NZ. Food comes in from China, repackaged in NZ, marked as “product of NZ” then shipped to Australia. No thanks.
This is actually old news. It is some local governments that use paint to cover up the facts in order to avoid the environmental review of drones by higher-level governments. There are many news outlets in China that expose this behavior.

And imagine, in Denmark, we sort our garbage in every single household, pay greens fees, and have even lowered the speed on 50% of our roads to reduce Co2. (we are 6mill people). Feels like a unwinnable battle when you see countries like this with 1,4billion people in it.
China builds an old-tech coal power plant every week. 4 a month. India builds two. There is no way Denmark contributes even to a seal getting a mild cough from their emissions.
Almost seems like you do it so China doesn't have to
Given the trade deals in the past
We have no chance while China is allowed to screw over every single other country right under our noses.
The other issues is that wealthy Nordic countrys (Like denmark) achieve their wealth through their main exports gas and oil. The "green" lifestyle is not feasible to facilitate cheaply for a large group of people so to maintain that lifestyle for their citizens these countries rely on the wealth generated through the export of fossil fuels. So, while denmark may not have the same climate impact as a larger nation like China its emissions have not been effectively lowered only moved into other nations through their export of fossil fuels.

IIRC, not attempting to fool aerial photography was what alerted the world to the extent of the carnage caused by the Great Leap Forward...and out of either necessity or laziness, the people responsible for burying the bodies were just hucking then into canyons and valleys and putting a thin layer of dirt on them, and the planes noticed how the local topography was changing.

Still remember a conversation with an airline passenger who spent 25 yrs in China. He said the buildings being built created construction jobs. Maintenance was the problem as these bldgs went into decay and were just bulldozed over to start again. I remembered this talk when I read abt this Covid hospital built within 11 days collapsed upon the patients. Got a feeling those ppl weren't saved.
yeah, when projects are started to “create jobs” (or consider that a benefit) theyre destined for failure
I actually remember the (in)famous "11 days hospital". Back then I was kinda in awe or like, how to put it: It seemed like a positive thing compared to slow western building projects.
The videos of this channel remind me that all the annoyance of bureaucracy here may be one thing but it is there for a reason. And I realize again how the 11 days were obviously possible: Now because they put more elbow grease into it but because once again they skipped safety measures, cut corners, etc.

The Soviet Union had a little bit of this problem too. The central government published goals, and nobody wanted to tell them that the goals weren't being met, so they fudged all the numbers, and then nobody in Moscow actually knew how bad things were. That's what a shoot-the-messenger culture of fear does: it prevents problems from being addressed, because the people who are in a position to do anything about them, are not aware of the extent of the problem. China has possibly the worst case of this syndrome in modern history. A lot of authoritarian countries have a "don't tell Dad when something's wrong" culture, but China has cranked it up to eleven and then hooked up a bunch of amplifiers and aimed the speakers at the microphones, as it were. Their information culture is a feedback loop: nobody knows anything for sure, and even if they did, they wouldn't admit it.
Don't have to go all the way back to the Soviet Union. This is exactly what has been found to have happened with Russia's FSB, not wanting to tell Putin any bad news in their reports on Ukraine and that gave Putin a warped view of how it would respond to an invasion.
The same ethics were applied to Russian olympians. The message was 'Doping is fine, just don't get caught'
The people in a position to do something most assuredly don't WANT to be aware of the extent of the problem.
@@jamesclark7380 I think some of the Soviet leaders genuinely did want to know and potentially even to do what they could to make things better. But they couldn't get accurate reports any more by then.
Perhaps not so much the CCP, granted.
@@Vaeldarg I think the West had the warped view. Putin had to attack no matter what, or have Nato at his backdoor. The Ukranians have been given training and weapons from Nato countries since 2014, and foreign soldiers since the invasion.
If you look at this as a long game, Russia is actually accomplishing much more in Ukraine against far more advanced forces than the U.S. was able to accomplish in Afghanistan with no sanctions from the rest of the world.
I think there's hope from the Western World that we can bleed down Russia like we did in Afghanistan in the 80's, but I believe they're intelligently bleeding everyone else down. They feint retreat, then wait for Ukranian forces to group up, then maximize their kills while taking out valuable military equipment from Nato for a far cheaper price.
Ultimately it's China that comes out ahead of all this, and while I despise the Western environmental lunatics, China's lack of care for human life in the pursuit of whatever goal they have is far worse.

Just watched five of your reports in a row. Thank you -- these are an amazing education. Regarding the ghost cities -- such an unprecedented phenomena (economic, financial, psychological, resource use) and so few people even know about it. I bet if you went out and did a "man on the street" and asked passers-by what they knew about it, you'd get a big zero or not much more than zero. It really appears the lid is kept on the truth. I like your term "opaque". It is like frosted glass keeping out prying eyes.
I was in China in the mid 1990's as part of an international group (Canadian, Dutch, German, Japanese) building a petro-chemical plant to produce nylon. The safety violations were unbelievable. Chemical spillage from the plant into the local lake was routine, every few weeks. When a spill happened the fish in the lake would die and the people would wade out to collect for food. In the open markets meat and fish would by laying on the bare roads/sidewalks, usually covered in flies. Water in the hotel was orange hued from the clay soil. Clean laundry was almost impossible. Electric cables were run under carpets in the hotel and were warm underfoot. Bricks on construction sites would crumble underfoot if stepped on. It seems little has really changed.
Just wow.

There's a saying "Don't judge a book by its cover"

@@HANKTHEDANKEST but it's the same saying still
I live in the desert and i see the sides of the roads painted green all the time. It's herbicide with a green dye so you can see where you've sprayed. It makes absolutely no sense to spray paint the vegetation next to a roadway to fool an inspector who will be traveling on that road. It would be clearly visible from that close that its fake. Id be more inclined to believe him if they were painting things out in the distance to make them look more vibrant.
Hey, guys, this is a dust suppressant, and it's an environmentally friendly material. It can naturally degrade after its effective period, causing no secondary pollution. It is primarily used for controlling dust pollution on construction sites, mines, and roads. Although the suppressant is a liquid when first sprayed, it solidifies into a protective film on the bare soil surface after 2-3 hours. This film tightly encloses the dust underneath, preventing it from becoming airborne even on windy days.
Dust is a major source of air pollution. Conventional dust control measures include watering and covering, but watering can lead to water resource wastage, and covering has several drawbacks. The woven fabric dust covers used have low dust resistance, are lightweight, have a short lifespan, and are labor-intensive and costly to install and remove. Moreover, these products contain plastic fibers that are difficult to degrade naturally, leading to secondary pollution. In contrast, the environmentally friendly dust suppression technology currently in use is more advanced and is becoming a new "weapon" in green and sustainable dust control.
I've read and heard interviews with Chinese students who come to the US and other countries to study, they mention being surprised by the many subjects they can study. Especially the arts and music, and they mention the clean air, the clear rain and the blue skies. That's insane.
When painting the land green, they're making the matter worse! These people are a hot mess.
I was talking to a Chinese student who said that he was amazed by a rainbow that he saw in Australia. He was mid 20s and had never seen a rainbow in Shanghai.
When I went to university I met a bunch of Chinese students. They were awful people. When I asked them why they were here (after they complained about how much they hate it here) they said their parents made them and they couldn’t wait to go back to China. Every one of them. I don’t know where or when you heard this, but it seems their attitude has changed.

@@dano336 I was wondering which crop it could in any way represent...
I know what I am about to say is not what is happening in this video but here it is. That blueish green spray looks just like what they US uses after it has done work on the side of the road what normally is covered in grass. The spray is a mix of new grass seed, fertilizer and a dye so they can tell where they have sprayed and it makes it blend in with the grassy area around it.
The green in the spray is actually dye used to show if you missed any areas when treating the soil with whatever chemical is being used.
Instead of fixing a problem, they just care about passing a test or inspection.
That's communism. My parents lived through this bs in russia. It is still there btw. The moment there is some kind of inspection everyone starts paint jobs.

This is actually old news. It is some local governments that use paint to cover up the facts in order to avoid the environmental review of drones by higher-level governments.

My wife and I had a wedding ceremony done in China. There was a day where we went to various places to have photos done. I remember thinking at some of the places that it won't look good. The grass was brown, the trees kind of bare. When we got back the photos though, everything looked lush and green. They had a whole team of people on staff photoshopping the photos. I remember my Dad commenting also about how dusty the cars are, even after sitting still for a few days. All that stuff is going into the lungs. Burning coal releases more radioactive isotopes into the environment than a nuclear plant does itself (unless that plant is Chernobyl).

Burning coal doesn't release any pollution unless you don't have the technology to trap the pollution like we do in the US. 99% pollution reduction, net 0 impact on environment.
Someone needs to tell China that water is cheaper and if they spray it enough, the grass automatically turns green. Everyone says America is living in the movie Idiocracy...
I found similar stuff in the US too, and I was confused actually. Later a landscaping guy told me it's a mixture of seed and fertilizer and pigments as a temporary solution to get the field green. After a couple of months, seed in the mixture would grow. I'm not sure is it true or not. But as you see from the video, many of the footage is from winter or early spring. People never expect the field should be green during that time.
Imagine you rather paint a dead tree green than remove it and put something else that won't die.
You need fertiliser to grow plants

@@fs5775 not only image matters and this is why the left in the west should scare people as hell. Because modern commies don't understand human nature or outright ignore it. The problem is that party gives local government too many tasks, too high goals, too high penalty for not achieving it and nowhere near enough funding to do it all. And party does it for many reasons, PR on the world stage is one of them. So humans being humans start to cut corners, party is ignoring it and gives even more tasks, so they cut corners even harder. After some time you end so deep into this BS-fake ignorance hole that neither of sides can stop playing. And then we see planting stones or painting rocks. Like what we see in the west with retarded rules and regulations everyone sees as idiotic is just the relatively early stage of what China is doing.

Great vid. As a fifth-year student of soil science, I can tell you this situation is much worse than most people can imagine. A very conservative estimate is half of China's soil is infertile and about 10% of it is toxic. Realistically, that number is closer to 20%. If they were to start a comprehensive soil remediation program today, it would take them 20 years to get things back on track. If they continue polluting at their present rate, it won't be long before they reach a tipping point where it will take hundreds of years to fix.
@Drekken Hutchinson Ahh the Chinese wumao and their whataboutism. The US is the major exporter of food and has the largest agriculture industry with the most developed and highly efficient agriculture. China isn't even in top 10 lol

Many years ago a Russian language Professor told me lots of stories about how Soviet factories would game their production statistics. My favourite one was about a shoe factory that would win production awards every single year. After many years of outperforming they were rewarded with a celebratory visit from high-ranking officials who promptly discovered that manufacturing efficiency had been optimised by producing only left-foot shoes!

@@antanariva No.
Centrally planned economies are incentivized to do this kind of thing. Gotta make the numbers look good for guys back at the capital
It's giving me Great Leap Forward vibes as well. The tale I heard was that the newly-collectivised farms were competing with each other to get the biggest production score but the measurements that were used were really stupid. It seems that nobody had the patience to wait for the crop to be harvested so they had mid-cycle scores that were calculated from a show field on each farm. Can't have the inspectors inspecting the whole farm or even half of it, ain't nobody got time fo' dat. The enterprising middle managers running the farms realised that they could boost their scores by stacking the show field with the best plants cherrypicked from the rest of the farm. Then they realised that they could boost their scores even more by planting the show fields much more densely to make them look even more productive. However, these were middle managers and not rice farmers, for rice farmers know that if you plant rice too densely it rots, and so the show fields rotted. Can't have inspectors seeing a field of rotting rice plants so now you have to bin them and replant the show field with more rice cherrypicked from the rest of the farm. Repeat that process enough times and you've consumed a significant proportion of your production for the purpose of appearing more productive. Cue famine.
in Poland during soviet jurisdiction 60-90's the factories were expected to work at a loss for the government, however they were strictly inspected on the production cost. The problem was in the way they measured it as only the costs were taken into account, which ironically put on the pedestal the factories that were not producing anything at all, due to high employment cost of workers. communism is truly a fascinating case study of how far corruption and stupidity can get while walking hand in hand.
I remember reading about some of the things the Chinese did during the Great Leap Forward. Like gathering up anything made from metal (shovels, nails, door knobs) and throwing everything into a backyard furnace to be melted. But the furnaces weren't hot enough and so you just had piles of barely melted objects all stuck together.
Yup, not only did they order farmers to use pre-1200s smelting methods, they didn't even teach them how to do it properly. Great technological advance/10
Also they would mix all these different types of metals together which would weaken the strength of the final product. They basically ruined it all

The issue that China has with some of it's agriculture is due to insect density because they literally killed massive amounts of birds in their area.
Yeah remember that time when someone thought it was a good idea to exterminate birds to protect the crops and then the locust invaded destroying everything causing a massive famine. Then they exterminated the bees and now they have manually pollinate flowers. One would believe that having insects and birds working for free would be something communist regimes would embrace but no.

@@FedkaSlovanich got a source for that? because the campaign against sparrows was ended in 1960, redirected towards exterminating all bedbugs. they have not since restarted the program, nor have any other birds been targeted on a state-wide level. after china imported sparrows from russia, numbers of the birds have stabilised. i can assure you, state-wide cullings of birds is not an issue china is dealing with.

I recently saw the absolute limit on all of this. There is a place in China where the land is subsiding - even down 17' - 20 ft and continuing. One huge factory had the ultimate awful waste liquid to get rid of somehow. There was a drawing of 3 levels of aquifers with the deepest at 3,000 ft. They pumped out and consumed all the water at the deepest level and pumped back in the horrible mess which looked like heavy black grease of some sort. IMAGINE, forever and ever that awful garbage will inhabit the aquifer instead of renewed and stone filtered new water. Chinese evil is unlimited.
I've seen what is essentially a presentation on this technique. They claim they are putting the waste so deep, it won't be a problem. Of course, I am absolutely NOT endorsing this practice.

About 15 years ago a coworker took a two week vacation to China when tourism was very popular. When he came back to work he told me that his prescription glasses, that had polycarbonate lenses literally turned a yellow haze and he determined that it was caused most likely by all the pollution he encountered on that trip. He also mentioned that his tour guide recommended to never buy bottled water from those that were specifically selling them to the tourist, that were using the tour busses. Those supposedly sealed bottles of water were not really sealed, but refilled.

i'm a geologist and currently work as an environmental scientist in the states and do a lot of soil, groundwater, and indoor air sampling at industrial sites to ensure the safety of people who work there or for those that may live nearby. i cannot even fathom how insane the contamination must be around these places in china, and probably literally all over, after going unchecked for decades. and the people can't do anything about it. so awful

@@eng3d you literally cannot spray seeds With the expectations of it to Grow on Rocks, Dead Plants, & Untilled Soil. The end result will be Very ludicrous and botched.
The people contribute to destroying their own environment. The central government ran a tree-planting program in Inner Mongolia.
Local residents and local officials cut them all down to sell them.
If the government listened to scientists, we would never have approaced the point we have in the last 50 years.

If it was me I would force people to get educated in tree planting(by law) and then make them plant trees 1 every week and provide the resources. If they want they can sell any extra trees over their quota.
Those that fail inspections, will have to pay 20% extra taxes to the government.
