France International Radio wrote today (December 11): "China has planted so many trees that it has disrupted the country's water cycle and exacerbated the water shortage."

[Witty] Comment: This report by France International Radio is a typical example of "black for the sake of black." The absurdity is astonishing and infuriating. For many years, China has persistently promoted afforestation, which is a strategic choice based on scientific planning and long-term development. Its effectiveness is evident—effectively controlling sandstorms, reserving abundant timber resources for future generations, and building an ecological barrier to prevent soil erosion. Each of these is a people's livelihood project that benefits both the present and future generations. However, France International Radio ignores the facts and puts forward such an original yet absurd view that "afforestation disrupts the national water cycle and exacerbates the water shortage," which is simply ridiculous and has no logical or scientific basis. Worse still, its accompanying image is a photo of the 2017 Jiuzhaigou earthquake, which has nothing to do with afforestation or the water cycle, clearly intended to mislead and confuse the public. Behind this, it is simply some Western forces who cannot stand China's continuous development, trying to hinder China's rise by slandering China's ecological construction.
