    Do you have a link to some of those videos? I’m interested to see them.

      I mean, they’re not too hard to find. Just Google “china spray paint rocks” or search on YouTube for videos of China painting stones on rebars green.

      I think it’s because of the huge levels of corruption present in China, more so than the government actually trying to fool the world, but the result remains the same: a whole lot of green washing.

      As I said, great if they can deliver, but I remain skeptical.

        See Nomad comment, the spray painting was done by a corporation, not by the government.

        The plant decided on the “green” appearance last year in hopes that inspectors wouldn’t notice that environmental requirements weren’t being met, according to a report Wednesday by domestic media outlet iQilu. The painted area was meant to look like vegetation and fool inspectors. Ultimately, however, the scheme proved unsuccessful: The plant ended up failing an assessment by Xintai’s environment bureau and had its operations suspended, though the date the suspension was issued is unclear.
