The article isn't very interesting, but many of the comments were surprisingly leaning towards an understanding. One being quite funny:

    The more Ii think about this, the more it pisses me off. Environmentalism is just so middle-class, so White, so Western, I wouldn't be surprised if its doctrines are lost on people from Asia, Africa and South America. If I was growing up there, and I was told 'stop developing your factories and start growing trees and living off the land', I'd tell these outsiders to f*ck off back to their own country, and mind their own d*mn business! But that, I suppose, is just me ;)

He sounds... Almost like a young Chinese Netizen...
