RE: 1.67% of China's forest plantations "Li said China has the fifth largest area of natural forestation in the world, covering over 300 mln hectares and worth over 400 bln yuan."
Now, if this is true and Sino Forest is representative of the same kind of quality and quantity, then:
300,000,000 hectares = 400,000,000,000 Yuan
1 hectare = 1,333.33 Yuan
If SF has 880,000 hectares, then, at this price, they are worth 1,173,330,400 Yuan.
However, 1 Yuan = .158692 U.S. Dollar
Therefore, in U.S. dollars, all of SF's trees are worth 1,173,330,400 X .158692 = $186,198,147.00
