This video was taken by Enrique Piñeyro, a pilot flying his own Boeing 787, within the 200 mile Argentine economic zone.
It appears that the Argentine navy and coast guard are not patrolling and it's also said that the fish caught by the Chinese (shall we say?) are then imported and sold to Argentina.
Argentina loses billions due to illegal fishing.
Outrageous. (And does this mean that fish sold at the market as “imported from China” could actually be locally caught? That would be the only silver lining!)
This is what happens when you only rely on the letter of the law.
You can protest and argue in every international venue that you can think of, but the harsh reality shows us since the beginning of time that your diplomacy without the cannons to back it does absolutely nothing
I saw it in the news last week. My first thought was who's on the take? Sadly like so many other dodgy things here nobody seems to give a stuff!! No wonder the country's fucked....everyone's at it so they just keep quiet.
China’s fleets of “fishing boats” — unlikely this is related to the fishing boats off Argentina’s coast, but an unsettling story worth a read.
