When I was in China I didn’t see any vegetation painted green. What I did see was whole hillsides of trees all with a pest-repellent painted around the base of the trunks to protect them, and I thought of the pine forests in my home state that are just entire mountains covered in dead trees from the pine beetles.
They may be referring to the Laoshou mountain, which in 2007 allegedly had its entire side painted green to give Chinese satellites the impression that they were meeting environmental regulations. The plan failed.
