watch your head (China's space debris incoming).

 Hmm... 

China has had a few more space launches, and since they can't control reentry and presumably don't want to shoot over areas where no one lives, their junk has again endangered the Philippines.

Phil Star:


MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Coast Guard said their officers and local fishermen retrieved on Saturday suspected debris from a Chinese rocket near Subic, Zambales. In a statement on Sunday, the Coast Guard said that its Zambales station believed that the debris consisting of metal and plastic that measured two meters long and four meters wide was from a Long March 5B Rocket launched last October 31 from Hainan, China.

and the story notes other debris found by locals floating in waters near the Philippines.

the good news? At least this time the Chinese military didn't fight the Philippine authorities to grab the debris away from them


====================

the terrorism against Filipino fishermen by their unofficial fleets is nothing new, but in recent years China has been doing this all over the world.

the result could be the collapse of the ocean ecosystem and a lack of sea fish.

StrategyPage has a full report.


The Chinese poachers operate in up to a dozen poaching flotillas, each with as large as several hundred trawlers. China uses its global space-based ocean monitoring network to guide the poachers to vulnerable areas, and then warn them when the local coast guard has been alerted and is approaching the poachers.


This state-sponsored poaching operation does not exist officially, but it is real and worldwide. At the beginning of 2022 China had about 3,000 ocean-going fishing trawlers operational. China does not officially reveal much about its growing fishing fleet but more and more foreign countries, as far away as South America, report hundreds of Chinese trawlers showing up just outside, or are caught inside, their maritime EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone).


quick: Listen to the protests of the ecowarrior types...NOT.

I was going to make this a new post, but again I am being shadow banned by someone (search engines?) 

From 40 to 3.

I suspect it was an article on covid, since the last time this happened it was shortly after a critical article on the way the experts are pushing covid stuff...
