Stretching for miles across the horizon, a vast armada of Chinese fishing boats trawl the pristine waters close to the Galapagos Islands.
Ostensibly fishing squid, the real target for the 265-strong fleet are sharks to serve the appetite for expensive fin soup, costing up to £350 a bowl, sold in markets across China and Hong Kong.
Night and day, the vessels – many the size of a football pitch – ransack the seabed, scooping up not only whale and hammerhead sharks but other species including turtles and birds.

The US and EU should ban all Chinese related seafood imports.
Where’s the UN on this atrocity??
Oh, yeah....they’ve been infiltrated by the CCP, so they turn a blind eye, on this...and every other crime/infraction committed by the ChiComs.
China is hungry - the Chinese will eat: anything with four legs, except furniture; anything that swims, excerpt a boat, anything that flies, except a plane.
Picking on Ecuador is par for them - the defenseless are fair game, the engendered are tasty and profitable - so why spare that rich unprotected resource?
China and Indonesia are responsible for approx. 34 percent of the plastic pollution in the ocean....
I would suspect this issue as China just lost millions of cropland to flooding.
There’s a lot going on in China we just simply do not know about.
You mean the United Nations, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red China?
That UN?
Oh, hell.The Chinese are NOT WHITE so they can do what they want.
Haha you got that right
Sink all those ships. Ban Chinese fish imports from the U.S.
“Where’s the UN on this atrocity??”
Busy trying to take down the US.
Just wait till the 3 Gorges Dam breaks. They will be vacuuming up everything on land too. They have a lot of people to feed.
Where is Al Gore?
He couldn’t care less about pollution if China is doing it....
Exactly.
China is facing a food crisis of dare I say it...Biblical proportions.
If that happens I have a bad feeling the chickens we send them for processing and return to the US, won’t be returned.
Well, perhaps if there were enforceable property rights with respect to fishing in specific areas of the Oceans. But no, you have the United Nation “Law of the sea treaty” which means the biggest fleet wins.
Ecuador has a small navy. They can ram or threaten to ram those boats Board them and take their catch. It’s a long way from China if they wan to retaliate.
Sick of these bastards.
“The Ecuadorian government is seeking to pay off its debt with China by giving it the Galapagos...”
This statement gives proper context and a look into how China uses their loans as a weapon.
There’s a lot going on in China we just simply do not know about...
If by we you mean the average guy, you are correct, but with hi rez satellite cameras, ELINT, human assets , and the like I think Trump pretty much kmows what’s happening behind the Bamboo Curtain.
