- A vast fleet of Chinese boats is sailing around the waters off Latin America, accused of illegal fishing and threatening the rich biological diversity of the South Pacific. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
Hundreds of vessels have spent weeks trawling for stocks, in a region which is considered one of the world's most biodiverse marine areas.
Illegal fishing has become a highly lucrative criminal activity, racking up revenues in the tens of billions of pounds.
Now, Peru's coastguards are out defending their territorial waters.

China "keep out of China's business and our sovereignty"
Also China "ignore other countries sovereignty"
Exactly their philosophy.
Still European union and south asean leader sign a business deal with China except India despite Wuhan Virus.....😏
well, that's international water. that's why coast guard can't do anything about it
@waichhang If it is Peruvian territorial waters or EEZ, then coast guards can force them out.
Peruvian coast guards detain peruvian fishing boats cuz they hang Peruvian flags and under its jurisdiction.
@waichhang I said "IF" it were Peruvian water. Obivously, they are in international water
I live in Malaysia, trust me. The damn Chinese fisherman are near our waters
You have to protest, you can't let Malaysia suck up to China like this! They even let China make and man a port, in Malaysian land, with Chinese soldiers!
@@saismo1657 no point, even our past prime minister (najib) sold land to china. We basically can't do much. Malaysia is like one of China's pawns
Thats how its been for nearly all of history. China has nearly always been the dominant nation, and all the neighboring nations have to live under its thumb.
@@haydeen6535 No, only the rest of East Asia usually
@@haydeen6535 facts
Submarine and torpedo seems more adequate to me.
whatever it takes, Capt Nemo would do fine
Or send in a few SEALS to put the tanker and the fish processing ship on the seabed. Once those two are sunk the other fishing boats will be forced to leave. The CCP endorses the raping of the world's oceans, which will cause a global marine life collapse, so sending a message that it is not tolerable is the only choice.
@@mikebell2750 I don’t think sinking a tanker carrying fuel would be beneficial to the ecosystem either
Yeah lets murder all the innocent workers aboard the ships who are just trying to make a living to survive. Lets not instead go after the companies and government that are causing the issues. Disgusting attitude.
Whoops, we lost comms to our sub. 20 of your fishing boats mysteriously sunk? How odd, must have been equipment failure.
The Russian way of dealing with illegal fishing boats is the best. Shoot first ask questions later.
They don't shoot unarmed, but they capture boats illegally fishing in RU waters or illegally roaming.
Russia is a POS country.
The Chinese have become international outlaws.

@@misterbig9025 Nothing, since many nations there don't have a stable Navy. Malaysia I think and Singapore have some Naval power. China slowly takes over many of the smaller islands in the South China/West Philippines sea and build military installations to essentially verify that the territory is technically theirs. Heck they even went around and sent a research ship to a reef that is actually controlled by the Philippines on the Philippines Sea to check it out since the area has alot of untapped resources.

Didn't you hear what the narrator said? There's nothing they can do to stop it. Just catch their own countrymen for what the Chinese do at 100x scale. Don't you get it? Just stop resisting.
@@crappycomputer77t1 no, they aren't willing to use force. That's a whole different thing. You think they would risk having their ships destroyed if they knew they would open fire.
Indonesia blows up their fishing ships. It's so cool. Ibu Susi is her name and she was the best minister of fisheries that ever happened.
@@awsome6589 Indonesia blew up every ship caught illegally fishing in Indonesian waters. Then China tried sending their Navy to escort the fishing fleet. The president sent warships and jets to chase them away. China is a bully and a coward. They only respect force.
We need a guerilla u boat crew that sinks those chinese vessels.
I am down for doing this my great grandpa was a uboat crewman
Now your talking //
we need james bond, matt damon and partner!
And Peru have a fleet of subs. Good idea!
@waichhang pretty much every country exploits another country at some point
Respect from 🇵🇭 Philippines
Sink every Chinese fishing vessel illegally operating. Zero tolerance
Capture every illegal chinese vessel. Commandeer them and imprison the illegal Chinese fishing in your waters.
You got a canon on the front of the boat, might aswell use it.
Just all your new weapon for free target...
The problem is that is not illegal they're international waters not in Peruvian waters and outside of the economic exclusion zone you can't just go around sinking boats in international waters.
@@mannyst1nvan When all the sharks, dolphins and sea lions are dead, will you keep saying this?

There have been satellite videos showing multiple Chinese ships intentionally dumping raw sewage/feces in Philippines waters.

Most chinese fishermans dont really care about marine life. Get them and put them in jail.
Put them in jail?...fuckin sink them
it willl be so peaceful at sea when all of life in the oceans has been fished out completely , it will happen.
The same goes with every fisher men
Don’t put them in jail, treat them as pirates in sink them at sea
No jail. Shoot them.
This is absolute madness. I can’t believe they just get away with it. International crisis, not only breaking the law, invading boarders, depletion of another countries economic future. Good god, the audacity.
They should never have been allowed into WTO.
They come as far as the southern tip of the African coast........ Decimating and hoarding everything in their path. Depriving locals from their livelihoods. Chinese fishermen are cruel and need to be treated with impunity.

Peru cannot attack those Chinese ships because they are in the international zone out of EEZ (350km from Peruvian base coastal baseline).
Shoot first and ask question later. For China fishing boat only.
Are you China man.Or you are paid by Chinese

Sink the Chinese boats as a statement in regards to their illegal fishing.
Just sink the main tanker.
You keyboard warriors don’t understand situation rn? The moment we sink em, it’s an act of war, not everyone is as powerful as america, and america is fallin
Il faut les couler.
They would declare war on us
The fuel will spill from the tank boat making it even more worse.
We need to protect the oceans 🌊 from unsanctioned fishing. It’s great to know people are working to together to have law on order on the open seas. Keep up the great work guys. 💪🏼💪🏼
China ignores international law.
It's about freaking time, that B/S is being called attention to, over chinas "Spineless" ways. "SO MUCH FOR SAVING FACE" One needs to have some form of self respect, before expecting RESPECT! I've tried bringing attention to the cancer which China is internationally. Hopefully this is the beginning of attention. P/S, this very video just popped up an "Add", For a Chinese company selling stolen"intellectual property", at cheap prices"!! I reported the add as "inappropriate "
Reform the world's fishing laws. This has to stop.
Even if that happen, China will not follow it. They have their own rules, and they got big influence in the UN as a permanent member
China does what China wants.
Reforming the law will not help since Chinese fishing boats just ignore them, the laws are also fine as they are so far.
@@ninjasiren they still wont follow them, but latin america will be able incarcerate them
Will do diddly squat, china's a law unto its self.
The Dragon has eaten all of its food, now it wants to eat everyone else's food.

😂😂😂😆😆
Why don't Latin countries arrest these illegal fisherman from China? They don't belong in Latin waters.
Too bad for them that that dragon is a paper dragon and can easily be incinerated if the world would work together to stop them.
@@LaoSoftware Arrest? They should be warn of being in territorial waters, and if they don't listen then they should be sank. Simple as that.
Awesome job Peru!
We’re with you on this battle.
I will send my paycheck to Peru if they send a Chinese fishing vessel to the bottom of the ocean.
We all need to get tough with China in every aspect.
They are not chinese. We may not be able to judge without the papers but they definetely don't look like chinese. Do your research what's the difference between Philippines and Chinese by looking.
@@hsiaohong6748 You are part of the 50 cent army, you cant fool anyone :/
Arrest the crews of all the Chinese vessels, confiscate the ships permanently and dump the fish. If the Chinese want their people and ships back, make them pay through the nose.
Is India doing anything wrong by stoping Chinese influence in South China sea.
I like this but I'm pretty sure that's kidnapping and extortion. No excuse for that.
@@Flanker-NineZero So if a country arrests a foreign national for poaching, is it kidnapping too?
@@amca6967 Anyone who is working against the communists is doing something good, so India is doing nothing wrong

I think this merits an update of international maritime law. It is mindboggling that the Peruvian coast guard isn't even allowed to board those ships.
The Peruvian fishermen, face the law. While the Chinese, continue fishing?? Something has to be done, on a world wide scale, before its too late.
It might already be too late
Unfortunately they were outside Peruvian territorial waters.
It is because The Chinese fishing vessels was doing legal fishing. The Peru fishermen was doing the illegal fishing which they catch shark, sea lions and dauphin.
Damn straight you know China doesn’t even have fertile soil anymore let alone fish in it’s ocean. And now it has its eye on Antarctica
@@Republicwing legal fishing half-way across the world?
Sink every one of their boats found to be poaching!
With the crew inside, please.
If they're in your waters and refuse to comply, give them a warning shot before sinking them!
No, they have had the warning.
The thing is they only sneak into territorial waters when they think there is no coast guard nearby. So they were on the edge but not in Peru's territory in most of the video. Therefore "legal". We need to limit fishing in international waters.
Also seems that the UN won't do anything to stop them, and sanctions sure don't work!
Sink them and dont help them because thats what they deserve
We are with you Peru from USA!
Start sinking them or start arresting them.
The Chinese-Peruvian War would be over in a week.
@@halwentz8994 It would also signal the rest of the world that China doesn't give a s*it about international law, thus drawing the rest of the world even closer together.

Also, the US would not like it at all if China or another major power threatened any country on the American continent.

Si hablas español
When you go into a grocery store or warehouse club and they have the frozen bulk seafood packages from China tell the store manager they are fueling illegal fishing by selling that product.
Character over greed , good luck with that
Those products doesn't even exist on the market in Sweden or scandinavia.
I never buy food from China period.
Check seafood label on country of origin. I just wont buy it when it's produced in China.
Those Chinese have fish their waters out thats why they off the coast of other countries fishing 🎏
No fish they running out of food . India just give them tons of rice . The same India they was shooting that .
So we are talking about a fleet of 200 Chinese fishing ships, but all we see is one tanker, which the country of origin is unclear. So all there is is the talks, we see no fishing boats other than the local ones. And looking at how far China is to Peru, the story becomes more and more ridiculous.
@Carmine Dingle If it was a Chinese fish ship they would have directly said it. But no, it was only implied. It could even be a stock video. You see the subtle trick they used there?
@Carmine Dingle Think about it. If it is really a Chinese fishing ship, wouldn't they have followed it until daylight to film it, so we can see more clearly on the markings of the ship?
That chinese fisherman already deytroy the south east asian sea, now they are destroying the world ocean!
Just wait until they draw a 90-dash lines around the Pacific Ocean.
Peru:( Has Illegal fishers from China)
Philippines: First time?
sierra leone : what you too ?
They would probly claim Peru ocean territory was ones part of China's empire 😂.. The whole world need to gather and say enough is enough with these Chinese violations..
Im a Chinese Fisherman in the Argentinian Waters
I'm from Peru, local news never say about it, and the price of fishes are expensive each time more expensive. 😞
Solidarity Peru/Estamos con Perú ✊🇵🇪
We need to expand the 200 miles law to 1000 miles, or 2000, at least when it comes to fishing rights, The Pacific Ocean is huge, 200 miles makes sense for most seas, that are surrounded by islands and other landmasses, but its nothing on the open ocean like that.
Specially when it comes to the new tactics with the tankers and boat factories allowing constant production.
Problem is the Pacific extends to Chinas marine border. So China too would have 800 extra miles they could claim and that would definitely conflict with other nations.
@@joepapa71 Those miles stop when they come into conflict with other nations, its not "open seas" in that case.
China or any other nation would have to split it with their neighbors if there is conflict.
God bless these men, I can’t even imagine how frustrating it must be
They think that they can steal anything they want!!!!
That’s because they can. Who is policing them? They are allowed to get away with thieving in many different environments. We need a leader with some backbone to tell them enough is enough (and then I woke up!)
This is absolutely unfair that those coastguards cannot do anything against those illegal Chinese fishing boats. Hope there are laws internationally in place that the country of authorities can freely catch and punish those illegal fishing boats threatening the life of innocent local people.
Guess it’s not just Chinese tourists that behave badly, but Chinese fishermen too!
Chinese. Everything Chinese. Time for Japan to put the paper dragon in it's place
Yep just the Chinese.
Don't called them Chinese.
Called them China.
Because they were some other Chinese citizens from other worlds beside China.
@Jerry Yen so the chinese people around the world are not from china?? you should stop calling them chinese then!!
How do Chinese tourists behave badly lol
Sink the factory and confiscate the tanker. If I go fish for leisure I can get a ticket for not having a license but china can fish whatever and wherever? I think this needs to change.
turn the cameras off and then sink the vessels in the darkness.
We all have submarines.
Not only the fisherman fishing illegally they are also drug smuggling
Damn they destroyed so much of their marine ecosystems they gotta find some more to tear up
This is also happening in the Philippines but sadly Duterte is not doing anything about this. He adores China so much

Agreed. If they catch them, they sink them on site. China grumbles once in a while but usually admit they were fishing illegally. However, it if costs them a dime to make a buck, they'll make that trade all day. With Communism by definition is bereft of integrity so right and wrong is defined by whether it pays or not. As with the drug trade, you have to make it not profitable.
