Still getting confused Billious ???
Sep 29th, 2010 - 01:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Oh how amusing. Chinese jiggers unloading fish taken in Falkland waters in Argentina! Who would have thunk?

Sep 29th, 2010 - 08:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0I have seen this Chinese tactic before…..
Fishing in international waters (+201 miles) but entering unlicensed “en masse” (50-100 ships) territorial waters of small countries that only have one or two fisheries control vessels……
Rings a bell? :-)
Of course Great Britain could choose to use their Eurofighters to bomb innocent civilian Chinese fishermen….
That would look great on CNN and China news prime time :-)
Won't be necessary.
Sep 29th, 2010 - 09:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Royal Navy will ensure Chinese vessels stay out of the Falklands EEZ unless licensed by the FIG.
And the Chinese will make sure that they don't bother their innocents fishermen.

Sep 29th, 2010 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well lets hope they have the fighting spirit of the Argie Armada
33 stick up, I am sure they will like the Arg. Navy pilots of the Dassault Super Entard.
Sep 29th, 2010 - 07:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But never as good as those harrier pilots ;)
Sep 29th, 2010 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Correction, Super Etendard.
Sep 29th, 2010 - 08:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know the chinese love seafood and they have 1,324,000,000 people to feed.
@7 But, you see, Chinese vessels won't be allowed inside the Falklands EEZ except by prior arrangement. No FIG fishing license, any Chinese fishing vessel is illegal if seen fishing.
Sep 29th, 2010 - 08:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am sure they will request a license....to Argentina of course.

Then they'll be politely escorted off the Falklands EEZ premises.
Sep 29th, 2010 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Chinese are not stupid ... if they want to fish in FIG waters, then they'll quite correctly apply for FIG licences.
Sep 29th, 2010 - 11:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They won't put themselves in the middle od anyone's dispute :-)
And who is going to push the chinese around?, HMS Gloucester? . I can't wait to see that.
Sep 30th, 2010 - 12:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0If needs be yes! But the Chinese will carefully avoid such a situation. They, along with the UK, are one of the Big 5 after all :-)
Sep 30th, 2010 - 04:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Chinese have fished in Falkland waters under Falkland licences over several years.

@20 dab Are you actually saying that China respects the law whilst Argentina doesn't?
