    Are they insane? This is not just cruel and disgusting, it’s also incredibly stupid. This will seriously damage their reputation among other nations.

    Damaging another nations food supply is a crime against humanity.

      I’m pretty sure China has lost it’s reputation with most countries and China is only dealt with due to fear of China retaliating economically.

      In addition, I don’t think China really cares what everyone else thinks or how their actions are perceived.

        Not sure if crimes against humanity can be brought before the ICJ since this can’t really be construed as a genocide. But I’m sure this is going to get amplified by the US media soon and will harm China geopolitically.

        I’d want their coastguard to arrest the fisherman and charge them with terrorism using chemical warfare. But that might be a bad idea lol.
