According to the Chinese NFI, national forest coverage has increased by 2.15% in the 7th NFI and by 3.41% in the 8th NFI
By contrast, the GFC dataset, which is considered to be more accurate than previous remote sensing datasets due to its unprecedented global high spatial resolution, showed that the change in forest area of China between 2000 and 2012 was a net loss of 38,743 km2, equivalent to a decline of 0.40% in national forest coverage
Basically, satellite imagery seems to “strangely” conflict with CCP figures.
In science, we call this “cherrypicking data.” Colloquially, we understand this to be because someone fucked their experimental validation. In the real world, we call this “disseminating misinformation.”
global-scale data cannot reasonably represent changes in the regional land cover. Moreover, different studies may have different accuracies within the same region and even may reach opposite conclusions
I love how every thread with positive news about China will have at least one chud who can’t even spell CPC properly bleat about statistics from China not being reliable. Get back in your basement.
Actually it’s the opposite. CPC is the actual name of the party, and CCP is the name brainwashed western idiots use for some weird reason. It’s like if I started insisting spelling USA as SUA and then acting like that makes sense. Anytime somebody uses CCP they expose themselves as an utter imbecile whose opinions can be safely ignored.
Does it matter? It’s a translation of a foreign Language, and hardly anyone uses the real names of countries. They are usually longer and in languages you don’t speak.
They are basically the same and mean exactly the same thing. I don’t really see the issue.
I don’t think it’s edgelords using it I think basically everyone does. It’s used because it’s used. You are making it sound like its an intentional psyop.
United States of America and American United States is basically the same thing, we should just ignore what USA calls itself and use AUS instead. The question is why westerners choose to use a different name than the official one chosen by the party. Maybe you can enlighten us what the reason for doing this is.
90% sure that is a rhetorical statement but I am going to try and answer it anyway.
It’s the same reason why a vaccume cleaner is called a hoover. A hoover is a vaccume cleaner. A vaccume cleaner is not always a hoover, yet loads of people call the floor sucker hoover no matter if the brand is a Hoover or not.
Nobody really care if someone says “I am getting the hoover” and pulls out a Dyson. Everyone was expecting some kind of floor sucker with maybe a select few expecting an actual Hoover.
You can ignore what the official name of the USA is. People already do that. They the USA America all the time already. AUS will be a little confusing at the start as many associate that with Australia but get enough people together to call the USA, the AUS instead and it’s not going to be wrong.
A good example of people not using the correct name of a country is the UK ain’t nobody using the full name the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are they? The initialism is wrong too it should be UKGBNI
For those looking for a source, I looked into it and yes the source is the CCPs claims. We all know how trustworthy CCP statistics are.

That GFC study contradicts the many studies using both older datasets and newer datasets:

At least China is saying something is a good thing that I agree is a good thing. That’s progress of a sort.

Yeah, it does matter. There is an official translation from the party and there’s a made up one that edgelords in the west use for some reason.
CCP: Chinese Communist Party
CPC: Communist Party of China

It’s like when people say Democrat Party instead of Democratic Party.
