About 2,700 Chinese vessels are used for illegal fishing around the world. These Chinese ships go beyond the sea limits of their own country and hunt fish in other countries' seas. News from Hong Kong Post.
The Hong Kong Post says that Chinese ships are illegally fishing in the waters of Africa, Latin America and Asian countries. Especially countries in the Indian Ocean region, countries in the South China Sea region, Russia and East Asian countries are victims of China's illegal activities.
According to the Indian Navy, in 2021, there were about 400 illegal fishing incidents in the northern Indian Ocean. And these are caused by Chinese ships. China has also been accused of violating the territorial waters of countries located in the region.
India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Iran, Oman are located on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Due to these activities of China, the countries have to be on high alert.
The Hong Kong Post also says that China also uses ships to spy on fishing vessels.
Many times Chinese ships catch fish even using the flag of other countries. This rate has increased after 2016.
Using the flag of Iran, China entered the country's exclusive economic zone and seized about 46 thousand metric tons of fish. At this time, the Chinese ship used the flag of Iran. Later, China used this fish to make various medicines.
Being China's neighbors, South Korea and Japan are the worst affected. China does not care about the territorial waters of countries. The country hunts illegal fish without complying with any international law. China has repeatedly entered South Korea's exclusive economic zone and hunted fish.
