Great, as long as it actually works and reduces pollution. I’ve seen enough videos out of China of people spray painting fields of rocks to make them appear like green fields and fleets of electric cars left to rot, all in order to meet targets, that I’m a bit jaded when it comes to great achievements coming from China.
If it actually works though, that’s awesome. China is one of the most polluting countries in the world, if they can reduce their impact even a bit, that’s going to have great consequences.
Do you have a link to some of those videos? I’m interested to see them.

Can you stop the brainwash a bit? That’s not at all what’s happening, I could link you to the facts of what’s going but your comment was just so incredibly lazy that I cannot bother.
China is one of the most polluting countries in the world
China has 3 times the area of the USA, but pollutes twice as much. Still bad though but they are improving.
I genuinely didn’t believe you when you said they painted the land… https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1004378 But here we are. I guess I should’ve known the Chinese government would go as low as this
You didn’t even read the article, did you?
It was corporations, not the government, in fact the government shut down the factory because the company was trying to avoid regulations…
The environment bureau in the city of Xintai has shut down a stone processing plant owned by Changsheng Mining Industry Co. Ltd. after workers painted the surrounding area green, according to a report Wednesday by Sixth Tone’s sister publication, The Paper. Authorities have also suspended the people in charge of the plant and given them a one-month deadline to remove the green-colored rubble from the site.
The plant decided on the “green” appearance last year in hopes that inspectors wouldn’t notice that environmental requirements weren’t being met, according to a report Wednesday by domestic media outlet iQilu. The painted area was meant to look like vegetation and fool inspectors. Ultimately, however, the scheme proved unsuccessful: The plant ended up failing an assessment by Xintai’s environment bureau and had its operations suspended, though the date the suspension was issued is unclear.
So basically it was corporations doing what they always do, but the government reacted as it should, unlike in the US, where a train derails and contaminates a river and possibly gives cancer to most of the inhabitants.
Good for them.
I wish countries would compete with stuff like this vs only competing in physical sports and war.
But at what cost?
cost shouldn’t matter when it comes to saving our civilization
It’s a joke because Usonian media do stupid shit like “China Finds Cure for All Cancers, But at What Cost…”.
