China decimates the Ocean's fish, the Greens stay silent.

China uses intimidation and physical threats to scare our fishermen from their traditional fishing areas in the West Philippine sea. 

I have written about their aggression here in past blogposts, noting that it was Obama who pressured PNoy into not trying to stop them with our miniscule Navy (miniscule compared to China) because if an incident happened, it could have resulted in the mutual defense treaty with the US being invoked, involving the US in a war against China.

Sound familiar? lots of parallels to what is happening in the Ukraine.

But China's decimation of the sea's resources is not only here.

USNavalInstitute Blog has a summary of their economic aggression against small countries by overfishing.

the PRC has already solidified control and is building islands and military installations in areas such as the Spratly and Paracel Islands, and Scarborough Shoals. Outside of the South China Seas, the Chinese fishing fleets have encroached on the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of countries from Africa to South America, such as Argentina and Djibouti, who have very little in the way of individual diplomatic power to protect their territorial integrity and fisheries.
