Other countries doing bad shit does not make it OK: It's all bad and everyone needs to cut this shit out collectively. Just because another country did something doesn't mean another should be immune to criticism.
You're arguing against... Numbers? By the numbers, China's contribution to the world's wild fishing is proportional to their population (~18% of the world), and most of China's fish supply comes from aquaculture.
The fact that you're focusing on this 18% (mind you, China does control a good chunk of the world's productive fisheries just due to the sheer scale of the rivers in China) rather than the remaining 82%...
Arguing that China is overexploiting global fisheries, frankly, doesn't look at the quantitative data.
