What the hell did I just watched ? What a load of balls. So obsessive about China and the No. 1 spot.
Meanwhile back in China, no one cares, everyone just get on with their lives and make their way through the day.

@horseDocumentary about China and the economy from 2019.
@Hadoren ,This is a really fascinating early mid-'00s documentary on rehabilitation of the Loess Plateau, the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
It also unintentionally shows a lot about rural Chinese poverty (especially the scenes in the '90s) and village life. They're still very poor in the mid-'00s. Even today, this part of China is falling further behind.
My thoughts:
(Btw, how many of you all can understand the accent? I could barely understand a single thing!)
- Initially they had no idea how to restore the environment; they learned a tremendous amount from the villages.
- The herding of goats and sheeps was tremendously destructive.
- The Five Eyes author ignores this, but the CCP's heavily involved. For instance, there's a meeting in 23:18, where the rural cadres order the village "comrades" to gather for a "people's meeting" to discuss reforestation. Conveniently this part is left untranslated.
