Ten years ago, China’s capital was often covered in dense yellow and gray smog, so thick it shrouded nearly everything from view.

      It can be confirmed via satellite, so probably yes.

      And if anyone read the article:

      The annual Air Quality Life Index report, produced by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago

        Just like the healthy crops that were observed from satelite? That turned out to be just rebar with rocks on top driven into the ground? Or the dirt hills that spray painted green for the same reason.

            https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AynNsPs9i80 This guys channel is pretty good if you’re into the crazy shit China is up too.

            That video specifically shows the rebar and rock fake crops and some green painting of barren land and hills. They even use rolls of fake plastic plants to make hillsides look alive. When really nothing grows there.

              Yeah, serpentza is an amazing channel if you just want to rage at China, regardless of reality.
