Since 1978, China has been building the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, often called the Great Green Wall, a monumental project designed to halt the expansion of the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts. It has already planted over 66 billion trees across a 2,800-mile stretch, with plans to add another 34 billion by 2050, and recently completed a green belt fully encircling the Taklamakan Desert. The barrier aims to fight the severe soil erosion and dust storms that have long plagued northern cities like Beijing. However, critics warn it has real weaknesses, relying heavily on single-species plantations that are vulnerable to disease and planting thirsty trees in dry regions, which can deplete groundwater. Scientists now urge a shift toward more diverse, native planting.

The historic SpaceX initial public offering (IPO) on June 12, 2026, has positioned more than 4,400 current and former employees to become millionaires.

The blockbuster listing is priced at $135 per share, valuing the aerospace giant at a staggering $1.77 trillion.

The scale of this wealth creation stands out because it extends far beyond top-tier executives. Because SpaceX frequently offered equity compensation in place of higher market salaries over its 20-year history, ordinary workers are reaping massive rewards.
