Als ich die Schifffahrt am Ausgang der Meerenge überprüfte, bemerkte ich eine große Ansammlung chinesischer Fischereifahrzeuge im Arabischen Meer. Eine kleine Recherche zeigt, dass es sich um eine von der Regierung unterstützte Fischereiflotte handelt und sie eine Strategie entwickelt, um die Ziele der KPCh im Arabischen Meer voranzutreiben. Ich fand das sehr interessant und wollte es teilen.

They do the same shit in the Pacific, turn their signals off, sit at the border, collect information.
This gray area is going to get some poor random fisherman blown up if there’s ever conflict.
The fishing fleets are there to fish, not to do intelligence gathering. 1/2 of the Chinese economy is state-owned. So almost everything is „government backed“.
The „research“ in research fishing is a strategy to avoid compliance with international fishing agreements, which usually have large exemptions for research. The research in question is „how many fish can we catch“.
There are multiple, known, highly sophisticated, Chinese intelligence ships in the area. The fishing fleets are out to make money.
Who is to say one of them doesn’t have a radar dish switched off and a cruise missile aimed, but under a tarp?
Every news article that comes out these days reads like events in the late 30’s.
If Somalia could afford a navy…
Somalia used to earn a fair chunk of their GDP from transit fees from ships heading through their waters. Ratifying the UNCLOS free-passage of the seas treaty was one of the last things that the Somali government did before it collapsed in ‘91. The deal was supposed to be that Somalia would allow free passage as guaranteed by foreign Navies, and in exchange those foreign Navies would help keep illegal fishing boats out of Somali waters, but that part never happened.
Stealing food from poor people is the lowest of the low.
