It is logical to assume that the most populous country, China, will require the most amount of food to feed its people. But what defies logic and demands scrutiny is that Chinese fishing activity accounts for nearly half of the world's fishing!

Beijing's marine policies to feed its population, amounting to 1.45 billion as of April 2022, and support the country's ongoing efforts to increase its population, are jeopardizing the food security of many developing nations and simultaneously endangering marine ecosystems.
