    Read the article instead of the gotcha title.

    The Philippines has been known to use cyanide for fishing for the past 60 years. The Philippines coast guard says they haven’t found any actual evidence that China is using cyanide in the area.

    The only proven thing, according to the article is that China is being a huge dick and forcefully trying to claim areas of the sea they have no right to and overfishing the area while keeping a lot of Philippine fishers out.

    There’s a small handful of countries being total dicks right now around the world. Nato needs to grow a pair and sanction the hell out of them. Russia, n Korea, China, and a few other countries just need fully cut off and have a non negotiable and irrevocable minimum 25 year sanction put in place. That would be long enough that other manufacturers and companies/countries would invest in picking up and creating supply lines and manufacturing facilities. No one would be willing to invest in picking up the slack if they know it’s only short term. Keep them in a damned box.
