On the other hand, India is more federated and much less centralized (nor authoritarian) and they’ve achieved progress in this area too!

Yes, it definitely appears this way! I just know a bit about china and nearly nothing about india so i don't really comment :)
It is worth noting though, that just planting trees all over the place isn't the same as building and sustaining a complex forest/jungle ecosystem. They may be planting a lot, but the habitat destruction is still a serious concern.

And it's not just an India/China thing too. The US also paves over new and moderate growth forests so they will never develop into old growth ones.
