Reclaiming desert is usually done in stages, pioneer trees first which are hardy enough to create a canopy out of baron sand.

They are the experts in turning desert of shifting sands to forestlands, you have nothing to teach them. They have been doing this since the 1950s through trial and error, unstopping research, with the help of engineers and scientists. You think you who have done nothing can teach them something?
They are removing sand from the lakes, rivers and off-coast to use in construction. The shape of desert sand granules is different from that of water-based sand and can't be used for building. There used to be a terrific documentary called Sand Wars but I can't find it anymore. There are however several others with the same name on YT that I'm sure will tell the same story. Fascinating stuff and something we never think of.
China WAS powered by 5000 years of wisdom. Now it is powered by about 100 years of plain stupidity. Haven't you read recent news from China? The country is failing FAST.
China is blessed with plentiful cheap labor. I bet not many workers there are volunteers. We could do the same if we conscripted workers off of our welfare roles and bussed them to the deserts of the Southwest.
Very informative and entertaining video. Much props for giving the great Yin Yuzhen her due mention. All “Da Great Chi-ina” propaganda interspersed throughout kinda made me wanna vomit though… The only thing that’s going to make people think that China is decent is China being decent, not propaganda smothering all the authoritarianism
You keep calling it green energy, it takes more coal to make a solar panel than energy it can ever produce to replace the energy the coal could have produced to begin with .
Solar panels aren't green energy. Green energy doesn't exist. Look up how the materials are mined. Its not green at all. However, what the Chinese have done with the desert is impressive.

We DID HAVE these Absolutely Amazing Rock Pools along the Coast, it was an amazing Aquarium a complete Eco system, schools used to bring the kids to see.

The Chinese will start using desalination of coastal sea water. The fresh water produced will be pumped across to the Gobi to convert the desert into farmland.
@@rilmehakonen9688 Actually they are doing many water projects. The one of diverting Himalayas is getting India riled up. This project is to revitalize the Taklamakan desert water aquafer. They are turning parts of the desert into fish producing areas in Xingjian. There is a project that is moving water from the South East coast up to the Gobi, The Great South North Canal... They have developed rice that grows in sea salt water marshes. The Chinese great mega projects are just hitting their stride. The West wants to contain China's progress, but it is too late.
Will transforming a desert into a green belt, what effects will this have on other nations? For example, winds blowing over Egyptian deserts bring world wide nutrients as well as dust, to other lands depending on the balance of nature. Meh. They do have a place in society.
The whole idea is you just have to graze different so when the animals were around without man they would group together in a herd tightly and they would s*** and pee and eat in this one little area for the night and they would stop the pee and the grass and the s*** into a kind of a top which held water in the land and they found out by adding more animals onto the land not less they were actually able to bring damaged areas back which didn't seem to make sense but it does. It's been done in the US it's been done in Africa and quite incredible results so this is something people should know it's not less animals it's more animals and they have to be tightly grouped in the nighttime
So,they have removed million tones of desert sand from the desert,to terraform desert into lush forest.And what did they do with million tones of the desert sand?Relocate it to desert sand protection program?!Or,take it to chinese glass factory.Maybe saudies will take all that deset sand,and give him a new home,under water near Dubai.I bet it will end up in saudi arabia,becouse we all know how much arabs love theirs desert sand.
nice, planting all those trees but deserts are there for a reason. No water. Guess the Chinese are moving a lot of water into the desert to water all these trees. When the water stops flowing, then what?
why did you assume that their engineers have not thought out this problem before implementing this project,you think you are more bright than those chinese engineers?
The problem for The West, is that Xi Jin Ping is only the figure head of the Chinese Government. It is the Central Committee and the other levels of Government that have the real power. Xi only gets to direct the decisions of the masses.

They are the experts in turning desert of shifting sands to forestlands, you have nothing to teach them. They have been doing this since the 1950s through trial and error, unstopping research, with the help of engineers and scientists. You think you who have done nothing can teach them something?
Greening the desert is possible when there's political will.
Was going to say, are they going to introduce the desert sand into the lake? It wasn’t really explained.
They are removing sand from the lakes, rivers and off-coast to use in construction. The shape of desert sand granules is different from that of water-based sand and can't be used for building. There used to be a terrific documentary called Sand Wars but I can't find it anymore. There are however several others with the same name on YT that I'm sure will tell the same story. Fascinating stuff and something we never think of.
Money well spent.
For every human action there is a reaction by nature, only time will tell what these changes might do to global climate, air currents, etc

China fantastic country a great race, I only wish they could work with the rest of the world, and look after there own people.
極速前進中國
Didnt they dig up the sand to make artificial islands in the south china sea?
Great point 😅
Yes
The name tells everything, China sea.
Yes, sand from the seabed
Nice video! I'm surprised I've only been watching you on youttube lately
Where are they getting the water to water all the trees?
Going by this shill channel, out their arse.
USA: "China copy this tech green wall forest from us "..lol
CCP Copy Cat Pandas
China stealing Israel desert reclamation tech. be fair.
Then what?
@@surareddyalgubelli1591 That's it, man. the US wouldn't have a green wall because China stole it from them.
@@surareddyalgubelli1591 then US will make Grand Canyon green again..
So when does the other shoe drop?
Thanks. It would be wise if we learned more about China.
Is that green green or sprayed green so what if it starts to sink eventually only asking ,?????
You are pathetic
Go visit China and you'll have the answer
In US news: China makes camels homeless
In reality, BBC actually labelled china as destroying the desserts
They always tried , try and try again❤
China is powered by 5000 years of wisdom culture and civilisation. China is a blessing to the world 👍❤️🇨🇳
China WAS powered by 5000 years of wisdom. Now it is powered by about 100 years of plain stupidity. Haven't you read recent news from China? The country is failing FAST.
China is blessed with plentiful cheap labor. I bet not many workers there are volunteers. We could do the same if we conscripted workers off of our welfare roles and bussed them to the deserts of the Southwest.
Very informative and entertaining video. Much props for giving the great Yin Yuzhen her due mention.
All “Da Great Chi-ina” propaganda interspersed throughout kinda made me wanna vomit though…
The only thing that’s going to make people think that China is decent is China being decent, not propaganda smothering all the authoritarianism
Now if we could only get them to stop their scam/spam calling here in Canada
how do you think they are funding all of this....
That is south asia you mean, like Mumbai and New Delhi. Good to be familiar with geography.

You keep calling it green energy, it takes more coal to make a solar panel than energy it can ever produce to replace the energy the coal could have produced to begin with .
A refreshing contrast to the West!
On you mean clear cutting ancient forests and turning prairies to mega farms to grow corn and soybeans?
The world's largest artificial forest is the rain forest in South America if it is bigger than that , then it is the biggest man made garden.
Solar panels aren't green energy. Green energy doesn't exist. Look up how the materials are mined. Its not green at all. However, what the Chinese have done with the desert is impressive.
Is this the WATOP masked coffee sipping guy?
Yeah... but how many of the trees are actually dead and just painted green?!?
You'd better ask the Western media lying basterds that question.
???
No idea how many are in the US.
Most people don't know the length the CCP goes to for their PR with mountainsides painted green.
@@Utahskiing1 you can come to china and view.i am chinese,and i view it by my eyes
This guy's voice kills my ears.
Then tell me why they Behave so badly when the Come to Australia. We DID HAVE these Absolutely Amazing Rock Pools along the Coast, it was an amazing Aquarium a complete Eco system, schools used to bring the kids to see. I grew up around here, so naturally my kids did aswell.
Unfortunately my Grandkids won't get to see them, as the Chinese people that moved into the area 4 years ago.
Now you would be lucky to find a small crab. They do the same thing almost everywhere. Most people already know this.
I have not seen these incidents. Are you racist?
The United States will never have the Temperment to build something like this it's way to much division!
We can not help to admire China China is the only Country which has uplifted my Soul ( Yemen as those who fight for values ) I can not help to see my heart falling for China Westerner Anglo Saxon Arabic people they should take Chima as an exemple Yes Chgina is not Lazy
Dont see any irrigation, did you ?
This article is a lie. They are going to water all these trees considering that 90% of groundwater in China is so polluted they can’t even use it on plants. This is CCP publicity.
@@rosking7146 我们把受污染的水只给饲养的白猪喝，然后把猪肉喂养给动物，你懂吧白猪
How does it affect the animals that live in the desert 🏜 🤔 Some might think nothing lives out there, but there are some that do.
You shouldn’t believe anything you see or hear about Chinas wonderful progression. It’s Chinese lying through video and bravado.
@@rosking7146 Train from New York to Memphis - 40 hours, $360, about 1000 miles.
Train from Beijing to Cheng Du - 7.5 hours, $35 about 1000 miles
BTW Beijing and Chengdu are cities in China, in case your geography is not too good New York and Memphis are in the US
Brilliant...
5 MW is not energy, it is power (Energy / time). Wish people would learn the difference
Awesome thanks
The Chinese will start using desalination of coastal sea water. The fresh water produced will be pumped across to the Gobi to convert the desert into farmland.
Uphill? Better to redirect some rivers from the Himalayas.
@@rilmehakonen9688 Actually they are doing many water projects. The one of diverting Himalayas is getting India riled up. This project is to revitalize the Taklamakan desert water aquafer. They are turning parts of the desert into fish producing areas in Xingjian.
There is a project that is moving water from the South East coast up to the Gobi, The Great South North Canal...
They have developed rice that grows in sea salt water marshes.
The Chinese great mega projects are just hitting their stride. The West wants to contain China's progress, but it is too late.
First one again 😅
Human activity does not significantly influence the climate, but making the desert green is a very nice thing to do
India and African nations have similar projects. All great ideas.😊
Bullshiet, if you Googlemap it you'll never gunna find any green wall in Gobi desert!
They censored it.
I wonder what if they have an unusual year of sands storms, will it revert back, hopefully not after all the hard work
No. ALUMINIUM.
Will transforming a desert into a green belt, what effects will this have on other nations? For example, winds blowing over Egyptian deserts bring world wide nutrients as well as dust, to other lands depending on the balance of nature. Meh. They do have a place in society.
It's coming soon...
you pronounce Taklamakan wrong.
They are droughting out one area to plant where not enough water rains recipe for disaster
the disaster you are talking about is in los angeles usa,wake up
The whole idea is you just have to graze different so when the animals were around without man they would group together in a herd tightly and they would s*** and pee and eat in this one little area for the night and they would stop the pee and the grass and the s*** into a kind of a top which held water in the land and they found out by adding more animals onto the land not less they were actually able to bring damaged areas back which didn't seem to make sense but it does. It's been done in the US it's been done in Africa and quite incredible results so this is something people should know it's not less animals it's more animals and they have to be tightly grouped in the nighttime
Did anyone see the film "Sahara"?
You can do wonders with over 1bn people!
What about India they have 1. 4 billion people, look their infrastructure slum city
funny how Africa is also given credit for doing this; not sure which one is true (if either one of them is true); Y not plant kudzu in the desert?
With vlimate change Morocco is doing something similar
I'm Reporting you to WATOP, for stealing his video! 😂
Is this WATOP???
Right....COAL
The Chinese Green Belt to Complement its Belt and Road Program/Project.
So,they have removed million tones of desert sand from the desert,to terraform desert into lush forest.And what did they do with million tones of the desert sand?Relocate it to desert sand protection program?!Or,take it to chinese glass factory.Maybe saudies will take all that deset sand,and give him a new home,under water near Dubai.I bet it will end up in saudi arabia,becouse we all know how much arabs love theirs desert sand.
nice, planting all those trees but deserts are there for a reason. No water. Guess the Chinese are moving a lot of water into the desert to water all these trees. When the water stops flowing, then what?
If you watch other more detailed videos, you will understand. The desert has water but water evaporates very fast. Chinese finds ways to deal with it.
沙漠有地下水🤣
Better leave the deserts in USa the same
why did you assume that their engineers have not thought out this problem before implementing this project,you think you are more bright than those chinese engineers?
Planting trees works ,,don,tneed carbon tax,
I’m liking Xijinping
The problem for The West, is that Xi Jin Ping is only the figure head of the Chinese Government. It is the Central Committee and the other levels of Government that have the real power. Xi only gets to direct the decisions of the masses.
Is this watop
