US Coast Guard Warns of Illegal Pelagic Fisheries in China: Secretary Schultz
A new source of conflict:
Carl Schurz:
In late September, at an international symposium on fisheries issues in Washington, DC, China was criticized by name as the worst illegally operating country.
US Coast Guard:
“The US Coast Guard is ready to remove the threat of China,” it turned out to have declared a de facto crackdown on Chinese ships.
The government-affiliated news agency Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported.
Illegal operation in China:

Recently in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, a ship from the United States Coast Guard Southern Command
Discovered hundreds of Chinese fishing fleets operating illegally.
He cited a case of seizure with Ecuadorian authorities.

China Named in Ambitious New Anti-Illegal Fishing Strategy for the US Coast Guard
The United States Coast Guard
has called out China’s massive distant-water fishing fleet for its extractive practices in the waters ofits Southeast Asian neighbors and
off the coasts of Central America and
West Africa.
The criticism
came on Thursday as the Coast Guard unveiled an ambitious new strategy fortackling illegal,
unreported,
unregulated fishing (IUU),
and as Vietnam detained a Chinese fishing boat for intruding into waters off its coast in the Gulf of Tonkin.
U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz said that
illegal fishing had overtaken counter-narcotics and anti-piracy as the most important priority for maritime security around the globe,
noting that it “threatens a host nation’s ability to protect their stable resources.”
