Africa is huge- many people underestimate it, although in this case it is a bit too large compared to India in the middle. Also the colorscale makes Sahara and other low desert areas too green - the habitable part is not so great.

I can't read Chinese, but looks like the colors represent elevation, not how green an area is.

Africa is huge

Oh I know … I noted it as a positive of the map … probably makes Africa feel appropriately big compared to the rest of the world.
