China's domination in seafood has raised deep concerns among American fishermen, policymakers and human rights activists.

They warn that China is expanding its maritime reach in ways that are putting domestic fishermen around the world at a competitive disadvantage, eroding international law governing sea borders and undermining food security, especially in poorer countries that rely heavily on fish for protein.

In some parts of the world, frequent illegal incursions by Chinese ships into other nations' waters are heightening military tensions.

American lawmakers are concerned because the United States, locked in a trade war with China, is the world's largest importer of seafood.

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven't covered.
