That isn't true (and was never true). Trash in Asia that ends up in the ocean is local trash.
Even back when Asia bought recycling from us there wasn't much trash in it, and even the trash that was there didn't end up in the ocean.
The stuff in the ocean is what litters the streets, and then goes in rivers during rain storms.
