I'll believe it when I see it. There is so many of these articles the last few years which are basically China is going to do X in the next decade. Its funny how seriously these articles take Chinese proposals. Its the equivalent of a trump promise.

American century of humiliation continues unabated as we sell our parks to the highest bidder

China is working on embarrassing the US whenever they can. And in this case I very much approve of this specific case.

... china is looking better and better all the time :\

here in the 'states, people always reflexively bark "but you can criticize the government here without being thrown in jail or executed" and yet that statement is becoming shakier and shakier by the DAY. The US government has detained and attempted to disappear legal residents for criticizing the regime, and It's starting to look terrifyingly possible that they'll soon do that to full-fledged CITIZENS TOO.

Man. We are fucking cooked.

It's a good read, parks bigger than Florida. Ambitious goals. I'd like to visit.

I've been to a few of them, they're pretty excellent. At least the ones I've been to had good signal and wifi throughout the park. Also a ton of staff to help.

Edit: I guess I've been to the national parks that are not IUCN certified like some of the historic mountains. Still awesome parks.

Yeah, and I have a great bridge to sell you

Somebody pull Rosevelt out of his grave. Time to teach trump what a REAL republican is supposed to look like, and open a shitload more national parks!
