China is the worlds biggest fish producer and many of their fish come from illegal fishing practices. EJF reported the uncovering of illegal, unreported, unregulated and human rights abuses associated with the CDWF (China distant water fleet) in West Africa, and specifically Ghana, where Chinese companies use elaborate schemes to illegally fish. China&#8217;s gain is often to the detriment of countries like Ghana. These schemes take up most of CDWF total catches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysis &#8211; This shows the hidden exploitation that China partakes in Sub-Saharan Africa.   In an earlier report I wrote about the investments in infrastructure in China, which trumps that of the US. This shows another side of the same situation, that China are actually at the same time partaking in exploitation of industries, sabotaging local industries that these countries rely on. It is surprising to see this change in perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This relates to IR because the action of large world actors is always relevant to analyze especially how China exercises their dominance and displays it within the BRI and other foreign affairs. They seem to take advantage of smaller Sub-Saharan African countries in order to gain power and dominance, as an authoritarian government would. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link to article &#8211; https:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/202204080088.html Summary &#8211; A report has uncovered that 90% of Ghanas industrial trawl fleet is actually owned by Chinese companies using fronts to illegally evade the law.
