Communist greening, Sismondist greenwashing and dirigist nature-based solutions vs. true environmental restoration through the private sector

This banner for a nuclear reactor in Hainan says that China stands against crematory, mash and liquidative and for depollution. It’s a nice storefront but actually communist “rewildering” depletes the biodiversity and creates a superficial mask of green, as underlined by Gemini.

These “sacrifice zones” correspond with the earlier underlined unequalitarian nature of Chinese communism.

“Mono-curing” the environment i.e. using State-approved quantitative targets instead of following the principles of wilderness leads to biodiversity losses, be it in flora or fauna.

This fact that quantitativist targets lead to a “superficial mask of green” instead of real, resilient biodiversity has to be compared with what’s achieved by the private market. In fact the law of nature corresponds with the law of markets, so there’s a natural adaptation potential (fitness with nature) and hence vastly superior ability of private markets to render the naturality of the environment.

By shifting the definition of success away from “how many trees did we plant” and toward “how complex is the self-directed food web,” these private frameworks demonstrate that the most vibrant biodiversity occurs when human managers surrender control to the biosphere.

Some would want to try Sismondism, for instance sharecropping-inspired nature “restoration” and military seedbombing.

The Neo-Sismondist Paradox
The core lesson from these intermediate approaches is that randomness cannot easily be manufactured by decree.
When the state tries to mandate a chaotic biosphere through salaried workers, the inherent nature of state auditing converts that work into orderly, superficial lines. Conversely, when the state uses raw military force via aerial seedbombing, it creates true spatial randomness, but lacks the localized, long-term care required to shield those fragile early trophic layers from environmental shocks.

Ok ! So what about Audubon’s views, leading to the involvement of hunters in nature preservation ?

When you remove the fauna, you lose these invisible, highly targeted feedback loops. A drone cannot sense the moisture of a specific patch of moss, nor can it selectively plant a seed under the protective canopy of a nurse shrub. Without animals acting as the functional nervous system of the forest, any attempt at rewilding—whether by state decree, salaried workers, or high-tech drones—inevitably collapses back into a rigid, uniform, and lifeless landscape.

What about “nature-based solutions” ? Answer : it’s a lot of talk and very limited results.

Including in Wuhan where the CCP propagandizes its “sponge city” NBS and where torrential floods recently happened nevertheless…

The imagery of flooded streets proves that while nature-based solutions are highly marketed communication tools for climate resilience, they cannot be ordered by state decree to override basic hydrology during extreme events. When the volume exceeds the engineered limit, the illusion of the city as a functional ecosystem dissolves.
