And, iirc, their fishing fleet is the world's largest, state-backed and quite aggressive in this domain. They stand apart.

In climate change debates it is very convenient to have somebody else to shoulder all the blame. Can't reduce our ghg emissions in the west, the REAL problem is China and/or India. Almost 3 billion people and have you seen how foreign they look? Very scary.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

If you keep it that abstract, you invite denialism.

And if you give #1 offenders of things a pass, you invite [well if they aren't why should we?] or similar.

As a living human you are not a passive spectator. So when you single out China in a problem that actually happens world wide (and western countries have a proud history in) you are just deflecting. The fishing industry is bad and you should focus your efforts where you can actually make a difference, at home.

True. Though China still has a couple more decades at an insane output just to reach USA's total contribution to the atmosphere (so far). China being the epitome of late bloomers and all.

Let's hope they never reach that. Let's also hope the USA stops adding so much at the same time. It's a bit hosed that we can completely stop emitting carbon after today, and we'll still be in the carbon emissions lead for at least another generation. And that's assuming no one else ever reduces.

It’s good to note who’s worse since that’s an essential component of any honest account of what went wrong. Maybe other lifeforms will learn something or at least get a laugh out of it.

Petty finger pointing and spite are all that’s left of our future anyway, and it’s fun to be right. So there’s that.
