Chinese fishing vessels are going scorched earth and pumping cyanide into contested waters, Philippine fishing authority says
Business Insider ^ | 02 19 2024 | Matthew Loh

The Philippines' fishing bureau has accused Chinese fishing vessels of using cyanide to destroy Scarborough Shoal, a fish-rich atoll in the South China Sea contested by both Manila and Beijing.

"These Chinese fishermen use cyanide," Nazario Briguera, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said on Saturday, per a translation from Filipino by The Philippine Star.

Cyanide fishing is a controversial fishing method that typically involves dumping the highly toxic chemical near coral reefs or in fishing grounds to stun or kill fish so they can be easily captured.

It's widely condemned because it indiscriminately affects most marine species in the area, causes severe damage to aquatic ecosystems, and can make fish harmful to handle or eat.

You can thank Duterte for signing permission for China to have access to Philippine fishing waters and helping to consolidate the drug gangs under the Triads.

And all the greenies fuss about our plastic straws.

I suppose it's not as controversial as using hand grenades.

I think their mindset, on this point, comes from the extreme poverty that used to afflict the Asian populations.

” the extreme poverty “

good point, It’s hard to identify with a culture that perfected eating “stuff”.
We have never seen that sort of thing on this continent,
some one had to be very hungry to be the first one to eat some of the things that are eaten over there.

Hope we won’t ,,, but I think that’s the plan.

"Fake Chinese income" mortgages fuel Toronto Real Estate Bubble: HSBC Bank Leaks

EXCERPTS:

The whistleblower, a Canadian business school graduate, was staggered by the suspicious home loans he discovered in 2022 when he joined a mortgage approval team in a small HSBC branch on the outskirts of Toronto.

He knew of suspicions surrounding Chinese capital in British Columbia real estate, but had never witnessed shady lending while working at an HSBC branch in Campbell River, a bucolic town on the coast of Vancouver Island.

When he arrived at HSBC’s bank in Aurora, an affluent suburb north of Toronto, he discovered explosive growth in home loans to Chinese diaspora buyers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

As much as I doubt the Green war on CO2, China takes it to the limit by thumbing their nose on CO2 reduction. They are building coal power plants like it is a competition for national superiority.

Agree.

How did the wimpy college students and professors get the idea the Chinese were mystical and spiritually above us all like the master criticizing David Carradine as Grasshopper on Kung Fu?

They are sadistic and racists. They believe only they should rule the enslaved lower races who are not Chinese. And no one has the right to their own country or culture. Imperialists.

” building coal power plants “
