    The claims are actually quite modest. The US claims far more ocean with Alaska alone, which has less than 1% of the population of China.

    Hawaii has more EEZ than the entire subcontinent of India.

    Rules based international order and all that

      Our hardworking fishermen vs. their devious poachers. this is unironically the way its portrayed too, salmon prices collapsed this year to record lows due to decreasing demand and surplus of frozen fish leftover from last year’s biggest-ever sockeye harvest in Bristol Bay and Trident (biggest processor here) sent a letter to the fleet in August justifying the lowest prices ever by saying that Russia had flooded the market with cheap fish to fund their genocide in Ukraine

      Thank you comrades 🫡

      That was very enlightening, this lead me to see France’s EEZ as well, which was one of the most egregious claims that I’ve ever seen. Unsurprisingly the complaints about China are pure liberal projection.
