I want to tell you that catching fishes near other countries boundaries is also TOTALLY illegal in China which definitely make these "fishermen" become criminals. I'm sorry that these criminals in China did lots of damage in foreign countries. What gives me relief is that I also know some of them have been sentenced to prison because they broke the laws of fishing. Things get better now. And I saw similar news in domestics once. And Chinese citizens also showed extremely anger towards these illegal behaviors. These criminals just SHAME us all.

    This has been going on for decades. I once saw 12 trawlers in a line, yes 12 trawlers on a return from Banana Island on a day trip. Fish is the only food the locals can afford and even that will be taken from them eventually. Meat is unaffordable for the vast majority. Maybe piracy might prove a useful deterrent. If the food in my community was threatened in this way, piracy would be a strong to survive seeing as youth unemployment is probably around 60% or higher. The kickbacks some of these Ministers get is staggering and they sold their souls long ago for the almighty dollar. The only qualification you need to be one of these ministers is to be able to grab money at every turn and have a short term plan, preferably not longer than a day.

      Educate yourself, all that happened was a significant international naval presence was established in the region to protect foreign fishing vessels and piracy has become increasingly unprofitable, in fact just last year Somalia sold numerous fishing licenses to China. The only solution (which is still unlikely) is a radical change within West Africa where the elites reject foreign exploitation of natural resources which in turn puts at risk wider economic growth because like it or not it’s the Chinese that are facilitating rapid growth in states such as Nigeria.
