With greed they depleted their own ocean waters

Now they are sucking the life out of other fisheries around the globe.

If they aren't plundering the ocean, they are polluting it with their garbage. China is the scourge of the planet on just about every level.

Impossible. Human actions don't impact the planet.

Since they are not there and they don't exist, why doesn't one of those African mini dictators set his navy to do a little mini target practice on those non existent Chinese fishing vessels?

Oh I think I know why. It is Chinese money that keeps them in power. Hehehe

How is China feeding its population of 1.4 billion?

Excerpt:
According to a two-year investigation by Green Peace, Chinese DWF boats have been found fishing illegally and falsifying their catch tonnage in the prohibited waters of Senegal, Mauritania, Guinea Bissau and other countries. While the West African coast’s fishing grounds are some of the most plentiful in the world, almost all are fully or overexploited by international fishing fleets. The African Union convened a summit on Maritime Security and Safety in October 2016 to discuss various maritime issues, including lucrative illegal fishing trade that generates between $10-23 billion annually.

China is the largest producer of fish products, with 76.1 million tons of production in 2014.

Further stirring controversy, a 2012 EU study found that Chinese fishing authorities had severely underreported their DWF while overreporting their domestic catches. From 2000 to 2011, it was estimated that China harvested roughly 4.6 million tons of fish per year in distant waters. This amounts to roughly 12 times more than the 368,000 tons officially reported to the United Nations. This and numerous other incidents of underreporting suggest a high degree of overfishing, raising concerns of fish recovery and future sustainability.

The actions of Chinese fishermen have also sparked a bevy of international disputes. In March 2016, the Argentina Coast Guard sank a Chinese trawler which it claimed to be fishing illegally in its waters. In October 2016, a Chinese fishing boat rammed and sank a South Korean Coast Guard boat, causing a diplomatic row that stalled bilateral efforts to crackdown on illegal fishing. Similar fishing-fleet incidents have occurred with some regularity in the disputed waters of the South China Sea, where China has used its coast guard and maritime militia to intimidate foreign fishermen and support the contested actions of Chinese fishermen. Chinese poachers in the South China Sea have devastated the delicate ecosystem. At Scarborough Shoal, fishermen have intentionally destroyed roughly half the total reef surface (approximately 58 square kilometers) in their efforts to harvest giant clams. As of January 2017, however, Hainan province has amended its Coral Reef Protection Act to include banning the processing and trade of giant clams under its marine protection laws. China recently passed new laws to protect giant clams and other species

Who bought Smithfield Foods?
On September 6, 2013, the US government approved Shuanghui International Holding's purchase of Smithfield Food, Inc. The deal was valued at approximately $7.1 billion, which included debt. It was the largest stock acquisition by a Chinese company of an American company.

It is now called WH-Group it was formerly ("Shuanghui Development") (www.shuanghui.net), Asia's largest meat processing company, and Smithfield Foods, Inc. (www.smithfieldfoods.com), the biggest pork food company in the US. In the United States, the company has numerous packaged meats categories. Some of the brands owned by them are Smithfield®, Eckrich®, Farmland®, Armour®, Cook's®, John Morrell®, Gwaltney®, Nathan's Famous®, Kretschmar®, Margherita®, Curly's®, Carando® and Healthy Ones®

It was discovered Whole Foods Market brand of fruits and vegetables were being sold as “organic” that were coming from China. China's standards of organic food is sub par and often times they were highly contaminated. One fifth of China's farm land is highly contaminated with lead and cadmium. Crops grown in these areas contain lead and cadmium which are both destructive to human or animal health.

Impossible. Human actions don't impact the planet.

Most people support fixing pollution and litter.
It's when you bring in the failed model of AGW that a lot of people start getting discouraged.
YUGE difference.

Climate changes. It has since the beginning of time. Pollution and climate two different cats.

I agree.
My problem with AGW is the lack of fact and denial of natural variability.

I have some very close friends who own and operate fish farms in Idaho. These fish farms are very clean and the fish are well cared for. We actually fish at the lower end of the fish farms for escapees when we are in Idaho. My mom in her 80's takes friends and family alike out to her favorites areas to fish when the weather is good (kinda cheating but nice fish to eat).

I have noticed lately that ham for sandwiches and some large baking hams are not actually being cured. I think they are using some sort of chemical process, anyhow they do not taste the same and are not as healthy for you.

k Use Google Earth and look at the fishing boats, they have every size from ocean to off shore for fishing. I doubt they could feed the population without them.
