"That's not what you say. You have a different identity from others." Seeing that his son was a little dissatisfied, Fan Heng taught him, "If it's just a pure yamen who is looking for flowers and asking for help, it would be fine. Naturally, no one in the Politburo would care about these things, but your current identity is more eye-catching than me, the Standing Committee member, and you need to be more cautious when acting."

Fan Heng's words certainly make some sense. In fact, from the beginning, Fan Wubing's reputation has always been above his father Fan Heng, and the level of attention from the top in the country is considered to be among the top in China, especially after leaving the United States for a few years and returning to the mainland for exhibition, the strong strength exposed by any politician with vision cannot be ignored.

Even if he is as powerful as an elder, he still has to rely on Fan Wubing. In this regard, his status has far exceeded the weight of a standing committee member.

However, Fan Wubing obviously had no sense of recognition of such words. He laughed and said, "Dad, I am an unpopular person. In terms of personal affairs, it is best to hope to be unrestrained. Otherwise, if I don't stay in China, I will go to Australia to be my island owner."

Fan Heng waved his hand and replied without any worries, "If you have anything to do, just use being the island owner to scare people. If you want to be the island owner, you can sell you one or two small islands to play around the coast. Isn't this something that no one has done before?"

Fan Wubing retorted without being outdone, "You don't know what the coastal environment is, but where can you compare to the uninhabited island in Australia? It's just that the pollution in the nearby waters has become uninteresting."

When talking about this issue, Fan Heng couldn't help scratching his head and said after a long time, "This is the inevitable industrial pollution in the process of economic development, but what good way can be eliminated now?"

The domestic economic development level has been heating up. With the relaxation of approvals for small and medium-sized enterprises and the relaxed environment of some local protection policies, many small enterprises have been building in a hurry, including small enterprises with high pollution and low output. The direct consequence is that they have led to the continuous deterioration of the environment.

It is better to have a near the Yangtze River, such as the pollution in the Huaihe River Basin, which has reached an unbearable situation. In the long run, it will indeed affect the survival of human beings.

"What we saw and heard in the reservoir area this time also made me very worried." Fan Heng touched a cigarette and prepared to light it, but was stopped by Zhang Mei's cough. He had to put the cigarette near his nose and smell it, and then said to Fan Wubing, "Although the landslide looks very dangerous, what worries me the most is the damage to the entire southwest forest environment."

Fan Heng’s concern about the ecological environment of the southwest forest mainly comes from two facts. The first is that the world’s largest papermaking company, namely the Indonesian Jinguang Paper Group, has entered the southwest and other places on a large scale. The second is a large-scale extremely blind and destructive hydropower craze on large and small rivers such as the Lancang River, Nujiang River, and Honghe River.

Fan Wubing himself seemed to have some impression of the first thing, that is, the app colluded with some local officials in Yunnan to burn down local secondary primitive forests on a large scale, and instead planted a single paper-making forest to produce primitive vegetation. After this incident was exposed by Greenpeace, it was reported by the news media. It seemed that CCTV's focus interview was specially conducted in the southwest to shoot a blockbuster of burned primitive secondary forests.

However, unfortunately, after this incident, the deforestation and planting of a single tree species, Eucalyptus, not only did not reduce the slightest reduction in the evil destruction of the ecological environment and biodiversity, but instead rushed out of the local area faster and larger scale to advance to the entire southwest region. At present, the entire Chengdu Plain in Sichuan has begun to plant Eucalyptus on a large scale. The only driving force behind this is to make paper and to meet the Indonesian papermaking company that has long been notorious for the destruction of the ecology, namely Jinguang Paper.

Speaking of this matter, Fan Wubing said to Fan Heng, "The evil deeds of Jinguang Paper Industry are not only in the southwest of Yunnan, but also in large-scale planting of eucalyptus forests on Hainan Island in the early years, turning the hills in the central Hainan Island into the second Loess Plateau known as China by the public in the ecological world, which also caused severe drought on Hainan Island."

As for the second thing, Fan Wubing himself knew better.

Yunnan was extremely chaotic and seriously damaged the ecological environment and the natural ecology of the rivers and river basins. The species habitats were open in a swarm, which even caused public doubts in some Southeast Asian countries. The State Council has publicly issued documents to strictly regulate the small hydropower in Yunnan. The Prime Minister also responded to a reporter's interview, indicating that China would treat the hydropower in international rivers with a responsible attitude. Unfortunately, Yunnan's hydropower in the future has not slowed down since then, but has been advancing faster.

When Fan Wubing thought of this, he involuntarily made a crow-mouth prophecy, "The ecology of Yunnan is over, and the ecology of the southwest is suffering. In the future, natural revenge may be frequent, and due to the disrepair of farmland water conservancy facilities, they will definitely not be able to withstand it at that time."

Fan Heng touched his forehead and said tiredly, "There are some things that you don't know how serious the problem has reached if you don't look at them in person."

In recent years, a large number of Chinese and foreign forestry giants such as Hong Kong listed company Liwen Company, Asia's largest pulp and paper company, and Japan's Arakawa, Hong Kong Fenglin, Canada's Jiahan, Guangdong Xinwei, Hainan Forest, etc. have scrambled to Guangxi and invested in forestry. The three major forest pulp and paper projects in Qinzhou alone, 1.8 million tons, 1.2 million tons in Beihai, and 1.2 million tons in Wuzhou, the investment amounts of 50 billion yuan, 22 billion yuan and 1.0 billion yuan respectively. At present, foreign-invested enterprises have invested in the transformation of Fenglin in Guangxi, and a single tree species such as raw eucalyptus have been planted in large areas.

In Japan, in order to protect the natural ecological environment, especially biodiversity, the Japanese government prohibits the planting of large-scale forests that consume water and soil nutrients in a single tree species.

"Although there has been sufficient scientific evidence to prove that raw eucalyptus will seriously damage the ecological environment, especially groundwater, soil and biodiversity, it does not seem to have attracted enough attention from the country. Although Europe, the United States, New Zealand and the United Nations have already taken negative actions on raw eucalyptus, the global paper giants who are constantly attracting investment are still crazily encircling land in China, destroying primitive secondary forests and changing to plant eucalyptus. If this situation continues, most of China's groundwater and other natural ecological environments will inevitably suffer more serious ecological disasters." Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng.

Take the Leizhou Peninsula in Hainan as an example. After the introduction of abundant forests, i.e. eucalyptus, groundwater resources were exhausted within three years. There was once a large spring in front of a village. Before the planting of fast forests, the spring water flowed continuously all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer. The hundreds of acres of paddy fields in the village rely on this spring. After planting the fast forests, the flow was cut off in the first year, the spring flowed for three months in the second year, and the third year was completely dry. The villagers' wells were deeper and deeper, but the water volume was reduced.

No matter how fertile the land of Fenglin was, it was a dream to plant other crops after planting Fenglin. The acidification of Fenglin was also very serious.

"Many domestic experts have no sense of shame or justice driven by interests." Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng, "The senior leaders of the country cannot be omnipotent. As for saying that a person can understand everything, it is a traitor! As for the many experts in various industries that the senior leaders rely on, they sell theories full of fraud and insider under the guidance of interest groups, and the country is harmed by such experts. Another reason for this evil result is the theory of GDP advocated by domestic appointees."

Fenglin - pulp - paper industry, this is an economic chain that can quickly drive the rise of GDP numbers. Since it can achieve results within a few years and can attract huge investment from the International Paper Group, what other ways can be so fast to build a political achievement project?

It is no wonder that local officials flock to bring papermaking companies into their own soil and water. Even Fan Wubing has heard of it. In order to compete for a papermaking project worth hundreds of thousands of tons, the two mayors once bet that the winner took the project and the loser received 20 million yuan as a condition for withdrawal.

"The harm of the Shenglin is really so great? Why have I never heard of it?" Fan Heng obviously has no idea about the harm of the Shenglin.

About 60% of the national supply of traditional Chinese herbal raw materials comes from Yunnan and Guangxi. In recent years, the supply of traditional Chinese herbal raw materials in these two places has decreased dramatically. The pharmaceutical industry, traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment industry, as well as major traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies, etc. have to use more artificially grown traditional Chinese herbal raw materials. The direct harm is the reduction in efficacy and the soaring drug prices.

The native shrub forests that retain water and solid soil were cut down in batches to plant a single pine, eucalyptus, rubber trees and tea trees, making the floor solid and the soil water retention is very poor.

Although the forest area formed by the green eucalyptus is lush and green from the plane, it is actually a dead silence below. The original native forest has various birds and beasts, birds and flowers, and now even the fields next to the green eucalyptus forest have wild grasses that are tall, no longer the chirping of insects, no longer the croaking frogs, nor the gurgling springs of the past. Even the grass cannot grow under the green eucalyptus forest.

"Eucalyptus is domineering, and there are no weeds around the tree heads. Eucalyptus can only be planted in the mountains. After two or three cycles, the mountains can only be lost. This is because of insufficient ground capacity, and eucalyptus grows slowly and is not worth investing. Therefore, the lease period is usually about twelve to fifteen years. As for the smell of eucalyptus, I don't need to talk about it. Of course, it is not very important to plant it on the mountain." Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng, "Eucalyptus forests are everywhere in Hainan. Moreover, the planting area is very large, and many of them have more than 10,000 acres. Local farmers and local officials have short-sighted vision and will not consider ecological issues. Especially in western Hainan, planting eucalyptus has become the main way for farmers and local people to generate income. Eucalyptus has strong water and fertilizer absorption ability. If the land planted with eucalyptus is not improved, there will be almost no grass in the future!"

Fan Heng had inspected the forest vegetation in the southwest region earlier and felt that the phenomenon of barren mountains was very serious. At this time, he heard Fan Wubing say this, and realized that even a place that is not deserted may not be reliable. Planting a rich forest area may be more terrifying than not planting trees. He couldn't help but feel even more worried.

However, many of the so-called forestry experts have been bribed by paper giants, saying that there is no evidence to suggest that planting green eucalyptus will affect the environment, etc. This is a pity. In today's world, money can buy everything, make people speak against their conscience, serve a few interest groups, and harm the general public.

Many countries in the world introduced eucalyptus, but in the early 1990s, due to strong responses to World Bank loans to fund eucalyptus planting, the Bank had stopped lending and aid for such projects.

In China, from the beginning, in sharp contrast to the enthusiasm of officials for the Golden Light App project, some conscientious experts also expressed strong concerns, believing that once the forest land is really occupied by a single tree species, it will pose an unimaginable severe challenge to the diversity of biological diversity.

Eucalyptus has poor ability to maintain water and soil and renew itself. It cannot reproduce naturally by seeds, and it has great inhibitory properties on native species in other places. It is not friendly to the environment and is planted in large areas. It can easily lead to severe ecological crises such as barren land, decay of native species, and degradation of native species, forming green desertification. Now New Zealand has begun to cut down all the eucalyptus forests introduced on a large scale in the past.

"The current problem is no longer a ban." When talking about these things, even people like Fan Heng felt extremely headache. "Local governments need to develop the economy, not necessarily for the sake of the people, but for the black hat on their heads, a safe way to achieve results in more than ten or decades. There is no future in the eyes of local officials. Don't tell them about the path of sustainable development. What can't be done for promotion?"

"It's not a mistake to be promoted, but to destroy the environment for your own selfishness and exchange for your blue shirt turning into a red shirt at an irreversible price, that would be a crime that cannot be punished!" Fan Wubing's view on this matter was very direct.
