- For years, hundreds of North Korean fishing boats have been washing up on the shores of Japan with dead fishermen in them. How and why the boats ended up there was a mystery. A NBC News investigation may have the answer: China is sending a previously invisible armada of industrial boats to illegally fish in North Korean waters, violently displacing smaller North Korean boats.

''Ghost Boats': How A Secret Chinese Fishing Fleet Is Killing North Korean Fishermen | NBC News
Almost every day the South Korean Coast Guard and navy catch both Chinese and North Koreans fishing in South Korean waters.
Burn them boats!!! No boats no fishing!!
I dont think they can do anything unless they catch them in the act. Problem is they are too fast, they fish process and dump and evidence.
sink the boats... shoot fishermen die in the waters and be esaten by sharks... no evidence of them missing too... so no one can be implicated for them being gone...

@@norml.hugh-mann loose lips sink ships is coined during ww2 to encourage secrecy on the communications division of the american navy on the where abouts of their ships when they are actually at war. no one would know if the navy that sunk the fishing vessels would actually keep their teeth together...
Chinese fishing boats found off the coast of any country without permission should be fired on and sunk without warning.
why?

Now they're in Peru. So greedy 😡
I just saw a video about that crazy. Heres the vid.

Theyve always been in Peru. They go wherever they want. Or they buy out parts of your country and rip the people who need what they own off.
And Africa.
I hope your country stands its ground.
This is happening all over the world. Here in West Africa, they are stealing all the fish from the locals.
Even North Koreans aren't safe LOL
As of yesterday, N. Korea has stoped warning, and started firing on them.

Also knew about covid because of this channel far before it reached Europe, and I'm in America.
We fact checking or?
Maybe the word "TERRITORY" is not on their dictionary
No they understand territory, as in my terrority.
Just don't get not my terrority.
Well they seem to get all autistic about when they claim Hong Kong and Taiwan and basically every ocean and patch of land as historically their territory
They wont be happy until thier is no seafood left.
Unless you watched this NBC News report, you would never know that the ChiComs are emptying Korean coastal waters of squid. Seeing those long lines of fishing nets, I could only think of the 1997 Simpsons' episode (Season 8, Episode 21) where Mr. Burns recovers his fortune by emptying out the ocean of all marine life, which he feeds into recycling plant. Mr. Burns then sells the slurry product made from the ground up fish and other ocean life, making himself another fortune. This report shows that the real life Mainland China is at least as amoral as the fictional Mr. Burns.
And they want the world to think of it as a superpower..😂 I mean what a joke your entire empire is built on theivery first of technology now they are not even leaving the fishes alone....they are bloody crazy....
Mr Burns is a saint compared to CCP tbh.
Not just China though, it is a global problem involving all of humanity and hurting all of humanity.
The Simpsons once again nonchalantly predicting the future no big deal
Chinese: WHA U WAN?
Venezuela: A shot to your dome.
Greed kills, it always has. Sustainable fishing is hard in fishermen but so is not having any fish in the sea.
Commercial fishing vessels in violation should all be impounded and sold for scrap.
If by "punishing" they mean "paying".
CCP is out of control
Modern fishing pirates!!
I like how they slip climate change in their reason. It's just over fishing. Same reason Chinese fishing boats do not fish in their own waters. They've polluted it so bad and over fished their rivers and oceans. There simply not much there.
"To stay in business" you mean to meet their quotas and to not be executed?
Start laying mine fields in your territorial waters, that's the only way to stop them. They can enter at their own risk.
neighborly
Thanks for the report
Very sad
The Chinese knew about Rome, 2,000 years ago, and Rome likewise, what makes anyone think they don't know what's going on, both have noodles, who made it first?
Yes, the Chinese got pastas via silk road. And they began making their own(chow mein) noodles. So contrary to the Chinese' claim, it was the Romans who first invented pasta!
But remember this is only a theory. It has not even been confirmed yet.
They think they can just do what they want. I remember that gold mining tv show based on 2 American real estate guys who purchased a plot of land in Africa to mine for gold. The Chinese on the adjacent plot just decided to bulldoze their way in and steal and claim some of the American guys plot. When confronted they just pointed rifles at them,and the annoying thing is that the Chinese knew it was pretty lawless out there so exploited it.
I remember that!
Oh you mean "Jungle Gold" ? Love that series.
Chinese: WHA U WAN?
Venezuela: A shot to your dome.
Honestly im surprised N. Korea allows its fishing boats to travel so far. Seems a great way to defect.
I like how the un made this illegal but wont do anything to stop it like who's pockets did they want to get into so badly that they made it illegal in the first place only to not care about it
Back in the 1980/90's there were Chinese factory boats off the coast of New York and New Jersey taking everything.
They are down in South America now.They have huge ships that process the fish and refuel the 250+ fishing boats that are constantly fishing and depleting everything
My Neighbor just builds a swimming pool in their backyard, in just a few Hours Chinese fisherman is there.
Nothing gets done when the people in charge are routinely bought off.
What's the North Korean government saying about these facts?
chinese fishing boat was shot by argentinian navy few days ago!, good job
¿Again?
But Argentinian waters are historically Chinese it’s within the nine hundred and ninety nine dash line
Utterly unsustainable fishing practices. WTF! 😡😡
No, it is not "Also known as East Sea" it is always THE SEA OF JAPAN.
Pokemon -- gotta catch'em all.
Make shark bait outa the law breakers. Nobody will miss them
Terrible reality and a human tragedy
I can believe that Chinese fishing fleets are killing the fishermen from North Korea and taking their catch for themselves.
Long time wrong doing of this sea grabber but still no one wants to stand for it so be it as a victim....
Same story with Philippines traditional fishing grounds
pirates on fishing boats?
But what you do with fish?
So much
What? UN prohibit other countries not to fish in sanctioned countries territory? Wasn’t that more like a perk?
Sounds like those two questions answered themselves 🤷♂️
But ask the Chinese
"SECRET" "INVISIBLE" LOL
if you sink all of there boats it would be too expensive for them to make other one so everytime you see one just sink it , weather it they like it or not , they will get the message lol
thats the thing you cant...they juat fish on the borders of international waters...
What about the environmental damage? Capture the ships and sell it for scrap. This way the hazardous materials like oils get disposed of.
Chinese fishing fleets should be considered a national security concern for PH. Those Chinese quickly depleting Philippines ' fishing ground, leaving our local fishermen empty-handed.
They quit nuke testing= NK have a plate my friend I know you're hungry
What a load of total crap!
What do you mean invisible how is that invisible?????
You aren’t that dumb are you he explains it pretty simply
@NBC ain't your boy Sleepy Joe in the Chinese pockets? 😭🤣
Trump's deeper, and obviously has his own private army
This is obviously a job for the CIA do plant undetectable transponders on to the hulls of these ships.
SK special naval forces should just engage and sink them. Capture any survivors and jail them.
The CIA works for Israel why would they bother with this ? Israel is a strong ally of China
Oh China...
Looks like it's time to start sinking some Chinese finishing boats
poor lil squids
fast growth always has a backside
This could make things interesting.
China is so glutinous
Killing Korean fishermen doesn't narrow it down much. Chinese fishing boats are killing the seas.
They need to fish davey Jones locker!
The Chinese fishing fleet killed the fishermen aboard the boats found and why the seafood is hard to find. Those aboard the Chinese fleet are trained by the CCP military and they are there fishing like they are doing in South, and Central America and being run off there by the American Navy and Coast Guard and the North and South Korean governments will have to send out patrol boats to watch over their fishing fleet to protect them and their catch.
fishing and sailing is brutal
North Korea has so much undeveloped land, I don't see why they aren't farming to feed their people.
Anthony patch
this really isnt shocking. china has treated north korea as its doormat for decades.
The whole point of being a "totalitarian communist regime" is to be not nice I thought.
Please everyone, teach the young for right now we cant do much against the powerhouses but unite as have our voice be heard, not supporting them as well.. but we must leave this to the new generation that will take over these jobs after these leaders are gone. They must know what they are really doing
I just read that crab catches on the Central Coast of California are down by 90%.
Any details as to why?
@@melelconquistador No, sorry. It was a comment by a local fish dealer. Giovanni. Best fresh fish on the coast.
I am given to believe that fish and squid are rather partial to a Chinese so just sink the boats, feed the fish and let them repopulate
No wonder the North Korean military just opened fire on a group of ten fishing boats, killing three. I would as well.
Why is North Korean catching squid?
They steal your fish and than sell it back to you. Yaks
TL;DR: just google: "Chinese fishing ship", you will see the problems ;)
if historic rights is valid (which is claimed as such by china) indonesia could claimed many many parts of southeast asia waters. including probably half of South China Sea if not more than half, almost all of philippine EEZ, and more.
in that regards, indonesia then probably need to share that "historic rights" area with malaysia as they share that parts of history. search nusantara archipelago (indonesian/malay archipelago)
not gonna argue for this ifs situation as its really just an opinion/thoughts.
btw, outside their (china) "historic rights" area, there's been many case where Chinese fishing ship been spotted. searching this term "Chinese fishing ship" will bring you the recent news and probably numbers too.
and "inside their 'historic rights' area" they probably often accompanied by their coast guard as seen in north natuna sea recently.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin response is “As far as I know, Chinese coast guard vessels have been performing normal patrols in the waters under China’s jurisdiction.”. A 2016 international arbitration ruling involving the Philippines invalidated most of China’s sweeping claims in the sea, but China has ignored the ruling and called it a sham.
They did to Indonesia TWICE IN 4 years.....they will keep doing it....no one in willing take them on...Japan and Australia are the only ones
Lol by doing this they are trying to woo back America again it seems😂
china xi jinping same saadam hanged ? ask bush jr.+senior !!!

@@mrs.chandler9384 except "slit-eye' not balls (crickit)
Sink them all with all hands on the deck. Problem immediately resolved.
These guys are extra greedy. From asia to africa to america. Just wow.
North Korea sells licences to Chinese fishermen to fish in N. Korean waters...then must send their own fishermen to fish illegally in Russian waters.
Just start sinking any Chinese boat you see
MCGI...GOD BLESS.
This looks like the perfect environment to develop and test new anti ship missiles and torpedoes. Chinese fisherman go to sea to work, Chinese fisherman don't return home, EVER! Chinese are smart, they will figure it out pretty fast.
I didn’t know arrogant, bully and greedy was synonym for smart. They should bomb their boats
China: We're destroying the environment for profit.
U.S.A.: Amateurs.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do North Korea fishermen not just sail to South Korea and get asylum?
Humans apparently won’t be satisfied until the oceans are devoid of all things to eat.
We’re a short sighted species.
California fishing industry is so highly regulated, most of our fisherman are out of business. Nobody enforces regulation on China.
They should ban eating calamari, calamari are cute animal!!!, eating stops killing stops

Boycott Chinese food. (Japanese food is quite a good alternative, and their restaurants have higher hygiene standards too.)
Ghost fleets from Asia are a world wide problem that has been going on for many years it wont last because the stocks of most palatable species will be dwindling in the next few years & its not just Asia over fishing has decimated the resource in all the once productive oceans, we only have ourselves to blame.

Its crazy see evil people that live among us . All i can say to honest good people learn to protect yourself ,when out on the seas alone video tape all you do if condronted a bad situation you need to drfend yourself you got proof whst happenef why you needed to defend yourself
china punish illegal fisher
what an irony
Just stop taking the bait fish !!!! Every thing eats bait fish.
2:44 when I realized I wasn't paying attention to the video and was day dreaming instead.
Issues without immediate actions is like just something to say to a children...its just go down to the deaf ear of the chinese....THEY ARE JUST LAUGHING LOUDLY TO THE WORLD....WE NEED TO ACT AND STOP TALKING....
the southern nations should take all the south seas to try to stop them with a sink on first waring
Jason Voorhees.
They need to sink their boats
The Chinese will eat eventually this planet if left unchecked. Next stop Mars. They will eat Mars next. 🤕🤕
Even the word Chinese sounds cheap
Extreme measures have to be done to Chinese fishing boats illegally destroying fishery industry taking everything. They are everywhere all the way to S America and Africa. N Korea should use their nuclear weapons to China.
They don’t care about ocean and ressources only $$$$
Another reason why the N Korean boats go further out is because they are not allowed to return to port until they have met their 'quota'. Nearly impossible ot do with the competition of eh Chinese fishing fleet. The narrator of this vid said it is impossible for the N Korean fishermen to 'stay in business'. The N Korean fishermen do not own their boats, the government owns hem and, therefore, they cannot be put out of business. They can, however, be put into the gulags and starved to death. And so they go further with unreliable engines and, when the engines fail, they starve to death....... End of story. A combination of death by the Chinese and aided by the N Korean government...
Look up, DDT, and Chinese sea cucumber farming. If you need context.
I did not know North Koreans fishermen could go out to sea?
If I was a North Korean fisherman I would top the gas tank and head out to sea and keep going and going and going ............>
