Where are Greenpeace and Greta’s flotilla when you actually need them?

Anything that’s not bolted down they will pillage until it’s annihilated just like their polluted country

At 1st, Chinese destroyed all life in the seas around their territory. No one cared. Today, they're doing same all over the world. Has anyone seen any reaction from international organizations, all those lying UN, IMO, WTO, envi activists...? Сonclusion: Chinese bought them all.

Insert random 'Influencer account': "LOOK SKYSCRAPERS WITH A LOT OF LEDS CHINA IS SO AHEAD"

Vietnam and Thailand are also destroying marine life on a massive scale, but no nation compares to China's environmental criminality.

Time to start issuing letters of marque.

Even without all the wars and the hate and abuse that is going on.. we humans are going to wreck this world! But here is a thought that strangely calms my mind: Nature has time and through that.. a miraculous ability to heal! We humans don’t have that time.. we will go extinct during the times of chaos that will last for generations.. for nature it’s only a blink of an eye.

@captive_dreamer sounds like they’re pirates and you need to blow them the fuck up

They do the same off West Africa..destroyed local small fishing industry

Ships that dont have transponders are basically pirate ships and should be sunk

Where is Greenpeace? Where is Sea Shepherd?

Can't legally stop it? Sounds like there's an alternative.

Definitely, they should be banned from waters a certain distance away from china.

not only china for over 40 years, china, japan, korea, indonesia... the list goes on

Well … nations CAN legally stop it. Individually or collectively, Extra legally if nececarry using a Letter of Marque or Reprosal. The Chinese Navy does not have the capacity or the will to enforce illegal fishing aka high seas piracy, UN Fish Stocks Agreement (1995). Nations can declare an act of economic warfare & enforce both “territorial fisheries” against piracy but also fisheries that “straddle” an EEZ. w/in 200nm of EEZ limit. UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982) A nation can enforce the conservation limits that maintain populations at Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). Especially relevant when those yields affect EEZ. The High Seas Treaty - BBNJ Agreement (2026). Marine protected areas (MPA) such as the Galapagos give casus belli for regional governments to enforce not only territorial protected areas, but “straddling” protected waters & EEZs. 200nm past EEZ limit. The legal framework is virtually intact. It requires WILL & a clear (fresh) interpretation.

From Argentina here! Thank you for speak about those totalitarian communists that invade THE ARGENTINIAN SEA!!!

They need to be sunk if found outside their EEZ!

@peakaustria China's not the only one doing this, though, are they?

It's all about the money, and they don't care. Until the fish run out, or the customers stop buying, they'll keep going until the fish run out. Because it's all about the money, and they don't care. It's always $+Don't Care, ad infinitum.

Where are all the protestors on this?

Meanwhile @elonmusk says the world isn’t overpopulated as too many humans cause the absolute decimation of the ecosystem

why are they still floating?

Stop buying Chinese. You may pay more, but it's worth it.

Put army there and sink some ships... Till they are gone

Thanks China, your bottom-trawling buddies are just 'borrowing' West Africa's fish forever. Global food security? Nah, subsidies first!

You are literally a propaganda account. You can fight ball dust. Echo chambers of other accounts that got thousands of views.

Well if it lawless then the boats can be taken out legally

🤔☕️

Where’s @GretaThunberg ? She seems to focus on the wrong things lol

Well this is depressing

Sink them.

#BoycottChina

@grok find facts on this and does it change whale migration and feeding patterns?

@JusticeCici They are despicable eco terrorists

@joni_askola Here is also one good video touching that topic:
