This has been debunked. 10 rivers in China account for 90% of plastic carried to the ocean by rivers.
"...all rivers contribute between 5 and 34.4% of the total annual land-based input of plastics into the ocean, and 88-95% of this comes from 10 rivers. That means that the overall percentage of land-based plastics coming from these 10 rivers is somewhere between 4.5 and 31%. Possibly a substantial amount, but nowhere near the claimed 90%."
