- China is under threat. Its ancient deserts, which appeared long ago in the north and center of the land, continue to grow. New deserts are forming.
Arid and semi-arid zones now cover half of the country.
They are taking over arable and inhabited land, which, near to the deserts, is shrinking rapidly. Natural barriers of vegetation found at the edges of the deserts are not sufficient in number or strong enough to hold back the sand, which takes flight and then falls on Beijing.
Each spring, the Chinese capital and region around it are drowned for days on end in sand storms. 270 million people are suffocating. China is at war against deserts, which threatens to swallow the land.
An army of 32,000 rainmakers fights every day on the desert front. A Green Wall is being built, which is as long as the Great Wall of China, to hold off the enemy.

A lot of people say planting monocultural plant would not help. The Chinese approach is first introduce a plant can strengthen the soil. Once the soil is stabilized, then they would plant other species of plants to promote more diverse ecosystem. The Chinese now using A.I. electric powered machines to do the planting.
GREAT respect to all the comrades who sacrifice so much of time and hardwork to protect and save the Nation from sand storm invasion. 👍👏👏👏💚🇨🇳🥰
What the fuck
They are doing amazing work. We all need this kind of coordinated effort in our home nations if we are going to have a chance at reversing desertification. Rewilding is our only chance at a sustainable future.
ever hear that what goes up MUST come down??? this is the MUCH BETTER way ~~~ a woman who could neither read nor write takes on the Chinese desert and the Chinese government!

China is a great nation and an ancient and rich civilization which has enriched the world.
I'm sure, the Chinese will find a solution to the problem of desertification. They will not only defeat the desert but also roll it back.
My best wishes.
Yes.
Their projects give people hope-
Something the west can sure learn from.
The Saudis have made the desert grow, also other desert land in other countries are growing trees and food, if they can so any other desert country. Just need to be taught how China has nd will assist if needed, but don’t be getting into life long debt, patients it will happen.
China is reducing 2400 sq km desert every year now
Has the United States announced that China is forcing deserts to disappear?
We all know that Xinjiang has vast deserts, and the lack of rivers and water sources can also lead to slow local economic development. So how should we solve it? The plan proposed by China is to lay large-scale photovoltaic panels in Xinjiang, solve the electricity demand in the east through the West East Power Transmission Project, and enable the economy of eastern cities to feed back Xinjiang. In addition, during the implementation process, it was found that due to the photovoltaic board blocking the sunlight, weeds began to grow below, even affecting power generation. This provides another path: photovoltaic power generation+grazing, which controls the number of weeds through sheep herds to increase the grazing area of local residents while generating electricity, and also solves the problem of deserts.
你分析的很正确，在光伏发电站中杂草不容易被清理，当杂草长高会挡住阳光，当地的牧民会把羊放进去放牧，我们把那些羊称为“光伏羊”。

Excellent documentary
Thanks so much!
The Dao Dharma in living with nature is a well balanced living. The Chinese will prevail with harmony with nature. Remarkable knowledge and well done to the team 👍♥️🇨🇳

Excellent video about The Green Wall: China's Defense Against Desertification | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC. I watch the whole series from London, England.
Certainly encouraging and necessary for such enduring scientific projects.

If only US and the Collective West emulated China engaged in projects that are useful to their own people and indirectly benefiting the rest of the world, this will be a better world for all of us. 🤔
For them their core belief is superiority and dominance.
The ruling elites are still lived in the past era of colonialism.
They will bribed islanders in South Pacific to support them politically but meanwhile the seawater keep rising due to ecological damages, pollution causing weather changes.
When we see video like the above, it give us hope.
Well said.
The US doesn't need to do projects like this. They do however need to change the way they farm. No more spraying pesticides and only use natural fertilizers that do not harm rivers, streams, and groundwater.
US government won't spend money on projects that is not profitable,Chinese government spend money for non profitable public service or infrastructure,we call that the advantage of socialism over capitalism.
I'm sick of western politics and political dead ends
Karma😢
Very good documentary
Thanks so much!
motivational efforts for others.
Great Documentary
Thanks!!
This is good! Maybe warring countries should focus on this and stop fighting and instead help China!
I’m from the UK, is there any organisation where I could donate my money to support this cause?
You don't need to donate money to visit China once. I had Arbor Day in primary school more than forty years ago.
Here in China,we can easily donate money with apps in our cell phone,I donated two trees in the dersert,they said if I went there I could actually find the trees with my nameplate.
Donate to the CCP😢

I hope deserts turn green completely to cool the earth.
It cannot. Rain level limited final height of plant. It prevent soil lost and sand storm
Lovely and great documentary❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Do we ever hear what the country of Mongolia is doing to help China regreen the deserts?
Nowdays. sand storms of Beijing are all from Mongolia
過度採礦和放牧
Mongolia govt is very shortsighted, over mine and poor management cause all sand storm to Peking Korea and Japan now.
Oof, nothing other than begging for help from China.
Very good doc. I already watched some videos about Chinas Green Wall, but there were many new things here
Thank you !
It would be interesting to see maps of the process of desert spread and reduction. Without maps it is hard to visualize what is really happening and where.
Google it. There are any number of websites dealing with this. The world is getting considerably greener, not forest but natural greening.
@PhilJonesIII I was trying to make the point that if you are trying to sell the idea that CO2 was greening up the planet, you should provide a map of this progress.
Thanks
Wow thank you so much!
There is disposable dishes, which is made from sugar cane, which can hold water for long time, biological material, biodegradable. Could be interesting, to make big buckets from sugar cane, impregnated with bio oil, to plant trees in them in sand, that they will catch and hold water, give trees to drink and feed the tree a couple years, till dissolving? Because so, they are poaring water, which goes through the sand, and dont remain there for longer time.
mix sand and asphalt and create thousands of small pebbles to cover the sand to prevent the sand moving.
You forget that asphalt is toxic. To solve a bad problem, creating another one, is not solving anything , .,It is complicating. things.
Be rigorous. Percentage of survival, 6/12/18/24 months is what is pertinent. Not millions planted.
Rainwater harvesting earthworks like swales are as important as DIVERSE plantings in regreening drylands. Plant biome-appropriate trees in the depressed area that accumulates water instead of on the raised area of the swale, as the area is so arid.
They also need to change how they farm. Restoration ag techniques work better than conventional ag methods.
Changing farming methods to those of restoration means less flooding, less expense from purchased inputs, more resiliency, builds resources, etc.

" I think we'd better get indoors. The sand people will soon be back and in greater numbers" Obie won Kenobi.
This is unsustainable, unfortunately. Planting is absolutely the right idea, and you start off with whatever is adapted locally, but you cannot stop with monoculture. Monoculture is not an ecosystem and doesn't support the insects, birds, small animals, and, most of all, the fungi necessary to bring it all together. They should stabilize the sand, then aim for something like a Miyawaki forest, but less dense. It needs the succession species to rewild and be self-sustaining.
That has been one of the main tasks that Chinese scientists have been working on.

now i understand why china loves water
We heavily depend on scientists to save us from the damage we have done, and are doing to our Mother Earth. But, unless we actually take their advice and make some painful changes, I fear we are doomed to our own folly.
They should begin digging huge lakes and filling them with water and traverse rivers lines through the desert
In fact, there is a bold man-made canal plan with huge investment and an estimated construction period of 50 years. The feasibility of the plan has been discussed. If it is determined to be feasible, the plan will definitely be launched to completely change the drought situation in the northern region.
只蒸发湖就会变成咸水湖
They did that is the Soviet Union.
Now the lake is a desert.
Took a few decades and the huge lake is gone

@@khoneyboeaku5847 it helps if the water flows through the lake . if the water doesn't just stay and evaporate it won't get too salty

Sandbag Barriers.
Someone mentioned Bitumen and Sand pebble Barrier???
Excellent. This cannot be done under capitalism. Nations must help other nations to save the earth from desertification. It’s called doing the Royal Law, James 2:8. Love your neighbor as yourself.
We must stop teaching the lies of capitalism, like rugged individualism, and get college degrees to make more money, and even education ends poverty, and many more. Because people need necessities before they can do any work, and capitalists don’t want to just quickly end world poverty! By saying all people should own all things, Acts 2:44. Or just eliminate money because most of it is just numbers in computers. And capitalists think it’s right to give all the money to a few rich people, and leave billions to starve to death!
They can’t send thousands of people to stop desertification in capitalism like China is doing. I know, China still pays wages, but that’s bad, but they are doing something, which is more than capitalism who will never do this. The results are just now being noticeable, after 40-50 years in China! Instead, USA capitalists are still cutting down the entire Amazon rainforest to grow food for cows, because Americans eat too much beef! And it’s killing them! Why can’t they be content with eating 5-6 bites of steak, instead of huge steaks? Why can’t we destroy the entire lumber industry worldwide?? Because it will take away the only income from millions of people! But by ending the insane tiny wages, we could quickly end world poverty AND destroy the lumber jobs!
And then all nations will need to quickly start building only Tower cities connected to maglev Trains, like we should have done in the first place! No killer cars and houses!
Renew your minds, people! You must see that’s what we should do quickly to save the earth!
I agree with most of this, but people want to live in rural and suburban areas, not just urban ones. So all types of neighborhoods are valid, but you're so right on everything else!
I worked in a sawmill and saw the changes in lumber production based on replanting forests regularly, the spread of forests in the temperate regions lock up more carbon than in the tropics according to studies... forestry has changed and is changing... forestry is a necessary process for recovery... there are large areas that were once forests that were cut down... ever look at the hills in parts of UK.... wood cut for ships and castles, for raising sheep for wool... sheep and goats can keep forests from returning... the different actions of a majority of countries, for whatever reason have had negative impacts from large actions and industries... it is noticeable that many are finding vested interest in fixing errors whatever the system involved. I live in a region where the trees protect the rain from washing away the land we live on... lose trees with large rains, flooding and mud slides... replanting trees reduces the danger, forestry serves both lumber production and protecting the land, not just one.
I would like to see the greening go beyond just stopping the sand...
China can do things because if they order something, the people have to obey, no way out, also they are in fact slaves , more slaves than those in the Western countries, where there is a low level of slavery. , We people do not realise, but we are a kind of ants. We are treated like ants, for sure. Who cares if ants are overworked, or exhausted? There are enough ants anyway. , inexhaustible supply. Imagine millions of people working in the desert, this gives results. We thought were more clever than the civilisations before us, and changed the methods to practice agriculture. , and we failed. , because we lack wisdom. We are too proud., to recognise that we failed, and change our methods and plans, and rectify the problems.
China’s reforestation of desert will be part of their test to grow food on moon and mars. This is just first part of their project, if it’s fully successful then they will allow the similar process to grow on moon. A space station on moon need to be self sufficient after all.

you can plant cassava
artificial rain since 1958, and yet afica an other countries still suffer.but then its all the powers that be that are to blame for everything .
One of the results of killing karma is living in an environment which is harsh fir people. Look at what happened to Afghanistan which was a rich empire in the past until it destroyed Buddhism. Now it is poor and a lot of places are deserts. Now China is experiencing its own karmas.
Cont.: Technology will stop the desertification. China needs to change its karmas. Please do not let China occupy another land on this earth because it will destroy us all. If China does not change for the better, it will cause problems for our earth mother.
倒果為因，胡言亂語。這是時間的結果，科學能完整論證沙漠形成的原因。
Yes. Karma is here To stay😢
The Kalbaleya Tribe of the Thar Desert in India knows how to live very well in desert regions. Carry some Kalbaleya Indians to the Kabuki Desert in China.
I applaud the scientists who are working hard to reclaim deserts. One thing I would like however is for international scientists to verify all statistics officially released by the Chinese government by using satellite remote sensing platforms. I trust the motivations of the lower level workers just not the official statistics released by the central government.
Just because you don’t trust your own government doesn’t mean other folks gov are like yours. FYI those documented changes are already done by western institutions, you need to google it yourself. But of course a racist hypocrites most like will dismissed even the studies released by Harvard who said Chinese people have 95% satisfaction rate for well over two decade period.
The best to study how to turned desert to vegetations area is in CHina. They are the bestest.
Use concentrated solar to melt sand into globules too heavy for wind to move.
Solar power can, t melt the sand,. But the idea is very good ,in itself. We can never stop the wind, but we can stop the sand moving. , but we need a kind of glue that won, t be toxic, also we can melt the sand using machineries with big and thick lenses and use the sun itself to melt the sand and if there are millions of these in an area, and when the sand is vitrified, shift further. and so on and so forth, and after a while the desert will diminish in size. Where the sand is vitrified , people start planting . and so on and on.
china have so many land!no need to grab west philippine sea that is own by the philippines!
China has been losing lands to thieves like Philippines and inidans. They need to enforce their rights and kick out invaders to their land!
All countries involved, and that's a lot, should have ratified the land agreements after WWII. You didn't and now it's a problem that likely to cost more lives.
Artificial rain is very bad for People’s health in the long run.
You can plant bamboo and jacknut and pepal and samaan tree and sohari plant and balisier plant and bananas plants and nut grass and have chickens and ducks
I never knew that
Of course not. If you live in the west, you are not supposed to find out the good things China is doing. You know, things like uplifting more than 800 MILLION people out of poverty, and installing more solar capacity in 2023 alone than the US in its entire history.
WOuld it be more sensible to start at the back, where the WINDS ORIGINATE, ratherthan at the front where the sands are deposited?
I'm sure they thought about that.
The birthplace is Mongolia, which was once part of China. Unless Mongolia is taken back, it has no right to interfere with their country's policies and can only do what it should do.
Wht the Chinese lack in technologies they more than make up for in determination and guts. Im sure they will succeed.
Yet the fact is that Chinese desert getting bigger and bigger.
Because in fact, the source of sandstorms is Mongolia, we can only do our domestic work well. Even though China is the country with the largest annual increase in forest area, we still cannot catch up with it
@@leojeje-db5qq Half lie.
Chinese gov cut lots of trees and wanted to plant corn.
CCP also built lots of dams which destroyed the natural environment. That's why the south china is flooded now and north China is in drought.
There is a universal solution. Stability by extending waterlines that doesnt leak into ground. After its all greened, then they can let water also into the ground. Return it slowly to natural.
Humanity is still a joke.. "There is no universal solution".
You must do the same in the Sahara. Regreen the Sahara Desert also.
Build hundreds of shallow large lakes in the desert and use sea water or river water for evaporation to create rain clouds and perpetual rain.
Develop water water water. Run hundreds of miles of pipes to carry water.

Sahara Dust is sand storm.
You can spray a mixture of 80 percent water and twenty percent refined oil. Spray on the surface of the sand dunes to prevent the sand moving.And then the sand can be referrilized.
Obviously, you are neither a botanist nor an ecologist.
It is a bad idea, because the OIL is toxic for the land, much worse than the desert. itself.
Only by using sea water can the desert turn to green
The salt in sea water will kill plant
Use asphalt to build rivers to carry water for miles
Do you know the greatest water diverting project in human history is being built by China. So yea, they know a little about hydraulic engineering.
Well done China.

Pretty pointless if they harvest the stuff they are using to stop the dust lol
And the world keeps getting greener. This is bullshit
Looks fishy😮
You talk about karma look at China now thats karma
Honest opinion....u can't stop desertification.
Global temp. is rising,rainfall is decreasing every year,water consumption is all time high...so it's impossible to stop it.
Flog the land 60 yrs ago then whinge when the dust lands on Beijing today.Typical
Serves the chinese right they have contributed towards the worlds global warming IN A BIG WAY AND STILL DO
I can only hope they get much more, maybe they might one day learn
Climate change is primarily caused by the carbon that was already put in the atmosphere and the lion share of that is from the west. The historical emission of the US, Canada, Europe, Japan dwarfs China's own total emission. Also, the west is still the most carbon emitting per capita countries which mean each westerner is more damaging than each Chinese, Indians, Africans and Latin American. You lifestyle is wasteful, and sinful and the ones that should be ashamed should be you people and yet you are doing the least among all countries that has the technology and economic power to do so. China deployed in 2023 ALONE more solar capacity than the US did in its ENTIRE history.
Does that spoil your stupid narrative?
😂
Until we know the creator who created all things, we are destroying the earth that God created. God put everything here on earth to survives.
Anything that is man made is short lived. We cannot outsmart God. When we defy nature it is an insult to our creator. We are telling Him we are better and smarter than Him. It is a slap on the face of our creator. We are no better than God. God is infinite and us as His creation has only a finite mind. To know God is to read His words from the Bible. Artificial rain is not good for plants. When rain from heaven pour out naturally it is a mixed of hydrogen and nitrogen and it is good for our plants. In China their government doesn’t believe in God. Their leader said that Chinese christians are opposition to the government when they they them jail is the consequences So they kept themselves in hiding. There is no freedom of religion.
