Chinese President Xi Jinping rolled up his sleeves this week—literally—to plant trees in Beijing 🌳, doubling down on his vision for a greener future. During Thursday's volunteer event, he called for a collective push to build a 'Beautiful China,' spotlighting the need to expand green spaces, revive ecosystems, and create eco-friendly jobs.
From Roots to Results
With forest coverage now over 25%—contributing a quarter of the world’s new green areas—Xi stressed China’s role as a global environmental player. But it’s not just about trees: he highlighted improving grasslands 🌾 and boosting the forestry industry, linking conservation to economic opportunities. Think Guardians of the Galaxy, but here on Earth 🚀!
Jobs Meet Nature
Planting the seeds for a sustainable economy, Xi urged innovation in 'green industries' like eco-tourism and land protection, framing climate action as a win-win for jobs and the planet 💼🌍.
