First, there are no voters in China, that is the thing about authoritarianism, you never get the chance to get the cretin you want in so you can vote for the other cretin the next time election comes about. Next, it is not really an attempt to fight climate change so much as it is an attempt to fight off the Gobi desert's expansion and block off the sand storms that haunts Beijing, Seoul, and even Japan. The Trees are there primarily to serve that function, and replenish the soil- once the soil is replemished, then it is possible to think of replacing them with more expensive, quality trees. The fact that it offsets China's horrible pollution is just a side effect of this campaign. Finally, it is more than a propaganda tool because it is a necessity that China solve its desertification problem if it wants to grow, thus, it is in their best interest to do so.
