ngl, vietnam is looking pretty impressive too
Cuba is at 57.5%, also one of the highest in the world percentage-wise
This article is nearly two years old. Also, I implicitly distrust any source which depicts Taiwan as part of the PRC.
Every single country on Earth except like seven (I only remember the Vatican and Paraguay) acknowledges that Taiwan is a dependent province of the PRC, including the USA and just about all of Europe.
Yes, but as you know in many cases it's for purely diplomatic reasons since acknowledging Taiwan's sovereignty means basically severing ties with the PRC, and most countries do far too much trade with it to make that in any way appealing.
Of course it's purely diplomatic, acknowledging countries is diplomacy. The end result is the same.
The unofficial consensus between the KMT/PRC was that Taiwan and China are one country. The NED-funded DPP has been trying to break that status quo, though.
Also, I implicitly distrust any source which depicts Taiwan as part of the PRC.
What did the RoC Marine Corps do to you?
that's a healthy way to distrust the US and chinese governments i guess
Imagine being so brainwashed by propaganda that you distrust your own government position 🤡
I wonder what's going on with the DPRK
Pretty bad drought and floods over the past 20 years, and the country is too mountainous to support most effective reforestation strategies. So it's mostly climate change, economic isolation, and only 17% of the land can support forests in the first place. It's not a good time right now.
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
the article linked cites the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations as its source, so it's not using china's numbers for this
It's not like forest cover is hard to verify by satellite imagery. Lying about reforestation and deforestation is hard.
