All of their freedom. They are an explicitly authoritarian country run by what they refer to as a "dictatorship of the treeletariat" wherein the trees own the means to production (water) and solely decide how it is distributed. No more tanks, just trees.
Certainly helpful to the wider planet too. The West spent decades resisting its own needed climate actions, including re-greening, simply because China was producing so much CO2.
