- JohnWhigham 5y agoWe all want to find a reason why our ocean populations are depleting, but as soon as anyone says China, you're racist (mainly from people on the left, too). This way of thinking and the resulting inaction is going to kill them even faster.
- smcl 5y agoThat's not true, rogue Chinese trawling fleets fishing illegally are quite widely and openly discussed - there's no real doubt that they exist and have little incentive to bother fishing sustainably. What is frowned upon is just pointing the finger at "China" in general without being specific or even at least a little self-aware. I've seen a lot of pushback on that, and tbh it's pretty fair.
