Chinese overfishing: The eco NGOs are silent of course

 

LegalInsurrectionblog has a long post about Chinese fleets overfishing and destroying fish stocks: Not just in the West Philippine sea, but off the coast of South America and Africa. They have a long essay at the link, and they embedded these tweets with videos in case you are interested.

 

The South American countries have deployed their Navies to combat the menace of Chinese illegal fishing fleets in their Waters. Yet, the problem is far from getting over.

An update on illegal fishing in #Somalia (🧵):

Late last month, the trawler Liao Dong Yu 578 was hijacked near the #Puntland town of Eyl. The vessel was part of a #Chinese fishing fleet that has been pillaging Somali waters for years, aided by senior Somali politicians. pic.twitter.com/VPe4nKQjSh

Heh. The Somali pirates finally attacked a non western nation that is actually destroying their fishing areas. 

Years ago, the pirates were attacking only western ships claiming they were destroying the ecosystem, but now Trump says he will take them out if they keep doing this, so I guess they noticed the Chinese who have actually been destroying their fishing grounds  and figured they will not shoot back...But I suspect now that China knows they are not safe, they will fight back.

Expecting a Wolf Warrior 3 movie about this in the near future.

well, anyway the left wing ecology types tend to stay silent on these things, (yes Greenpeace Asia complained about it... in 2017 and in the only recent post lauded China for signing a treaty saying they wouldn't do such things....LOL...) 

but not everyone is so naive and looking the other way: LI notes that Japan is offering to help South America.

and again I had to turn off my VPN to get the embed code, and on the list about what you want to do, it doesn't just have a "report this post", but a line: Report EU illeggal content.

Sigh.
