Guest Valentine Thomas alleges China misreports fishing-catch data to downplay overfishing

What was said

"China has been lying a lot about their their they keep saying that yeah we keep catching more and more and more fish and they're lying about the data to be like there's no fishing problem there's no fishing problem."

Valentine Thomas alleges China has “been lying” about national catch figures by reporting increasing catches, which she says masks the scale of overfishing. She argues that alleged state-level misreporting makes fisheries management and quota discussions more complicated.
