Outside of their activities in the South China Sea (which I’m not a fan of. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to though) I don’t really know much about it.

They have massive fleets that go all over the world - the biggest issue currently is right outside the Galapagos. Tell send hundreds or thousands of vessels to sit right outside a countries EEZ where they’re not allowed to fish. Then the ships turn off their tracking, enter territorial waters to fish, then leave and turn transponders back on

Yeah that’s fucked. Bigger countries don’t need to be fucking around in smaller countries’ EEZs.

A map of some largely uninhabited islands circled? And a fishing map? Use your words, this is not imperialism so far

I was hoping you’d have understood. My apologies for overestimating you. The nine dash line is chinas military/diplomatic goal to spread chinas influence and EEZ into the South China Sea. Everything within that 9 dash line, they claim. They’ve been tearing up coral atolls to make artificial islands to house military bases in. Their claims extend to right offshore other countries, even if it’s hundreds of miles from their mainland

The fishing map is a map of where their massive fishing fleets go and fish. Notice how the majority are outside their own territorial waters, and clustered oftentimes on the edges of other countries? What good is having your own EEZ if another country catches up all the fish that are entering your waters? Plus it’s been proven that they turn off their tracking which is required by international law in order to enter the territorial waters of other countries to fish there anyway

They’ve depleted entire ecosystems of fisheries. It’s devastated many economies around the world. They just jump from one high density area, deplete it, then move to the next. If left unchecked, they will end up depleting a majority of the world’s commercial fish supply.

It’s a nations resources. Islands in the ocean are.

Those islands are largely uninhabited AFAIK

So? There’s still wildlife. It still extends a countries EEZ and therefore resources.
