In regards to Boris Johnson and Gavin Newsom, IMO that is a straw man argument. You talking hypocrisy and now not about illegal fishing. This is about protecting ocean resources and there is de facto evidence China is not. If the United States and the EU buying illegally caught fish. please post a link so it can be investigated and prevented. As for China, they have overfished their waters and there is de facto evidence that China is depleting populations of over 90 other countries: https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2022/08/03/chinas-efforts-to-reel-in-overfishing/#:~:text=China's%20enormous%20fishing%20fleet%20is,countries%20and%20depleted%20fish%20stocks https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2022/08/03/chinas-efforts-to-r....

- noduerme 4y agoI wasn't trying to defend the US laundering their fishing through third world countries. At all. That's the height of hypocrisy. I was angry that the other poster considered it immoral for one country to have more people in it than another country. When obviously that's not something they can control, and shouldn't be blamed for. Per person, this all works out to the fact that humanity is wildly overfishing the oceans. I'm more on your side that the wealthy countries - per person - bear more responsibility for fixing it. But I don't believe it's helpful to blame poorer countries for having too many children.
