> U.S. Navy Arrest and Sink 300 Chinese Fishing Ships Off South America Coast

The video is fake. It's based on real events but congrats, you just fell for fake news and then helped spread it. I can't find any info that the US sunk Chinese fishing boats. That would be headline news if it actually happened.

Maybe the title is bad written, because you may understand that U.S Navy arrested and sunk the 300 ships, but actually the story isn't fake. The video is probably just trying to monetize it.

If the story is that China is operating vast fishing fleets which trespass, fish illegally and violate territorial claims then sure, it's true. That's not what the video is saying.

The video clearly claims the USN sunk the ships and uses video footage to support the lie. Please stop supporting fake news.

“China Uncensored” on YouTube has covered this sort of behavior towards countries neighboring the China Sea frequently.

China stripping unguarded Atlantic coasts was news to me, though.
