China, on the other hand, is among the five main countries importing Argentine fishing products, although, with US $ 3,700/ton (2021), it is the lowest compared to the rest of the four importing countries. It would be necessary to verify if the ships Chinese by registering the Argentine flag have also dropped their flag of the corresponding registration of China, since otherwise - as ventilated in the port environments - they would not be paying import rights in China of the products extracted from Argentina. In addition, with more than 300 Chinese ships (about 270 are jiggers and another 30 trawlers) that illegally fish the migratory resources from the Argentine ZEE, it is the most important fleet that fish in subsidized and reported by drug trafficking and slave work Other Chinese ships that fish in Argentinas waters of the South Georgias are added within the framework of the CCRVMA.

 

Officials did not seem to understand that squid is a strategic species in the Southwestern Atlantic and its appropriate administration would allow illegal fishing on the high seas and the support of the British in Malvinas. The Foreign Ministry already facilitates with cooperation agreements to the British in Malvinas, we need to facilitate operations to the Chinese by opening the Argentine ports.

 

 

British from 1976 to date extract through licenses granted to foreign ships from Spanish-British societies; Korean; Taiwanese and until 2007 to Chinese, an average of 250 thousand tons (without computing the discards) of Argentine fishing products; In addition to occupying 1,639,900 km2 of maritime and insular territory and disputing Argentina 1,430,367 km2 of continental platform and 2,426,911 km2 of the Argentine Antarctica and its corresponding waters and, it has started oil explorations north of Malvinas that The order of 791 million barrels of oil crude oil are estimated. With the British usurper and appropriator, Argentina should cooperate unilaterally? The United Kingdom has no vocation to return to Argentina a strategic space of access to Antarctica and control of the South Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian and directly linked to Patagonia.

 

 

Giving the ports to China add a supine ignorance of the operability that ships of this nationality that fish at a distance do. A renowned entrepreneur of the fishing sector - at the same time the most lucid and knowledgeable of the fishing business - says in this regard: «It is terrifying the ignorance that the Argentine authorities have, not only the provincials, about the fishery problem and in particular about the problem in the problem in the adjacent zone at 200 miles, including Malvinas. They imagine that the foreign fleet can generate income to their provinces via the sale of services to those ships. In the case of Santa Cruz, he is encouraged, in the first place, because the stowage union in that province dreams of increasing its activities, although the decline of activities in the desired port is due in large part to the fact that while in that port Download a ship is worth approximately $ 150 a ton in the port of Vigo leaves $ 20; Second, supermarkets plan to sell provisions to those ships and, thirdly, some service station imagines selling them diesel. Although, none of the three things will happen. The Chinese fleet that operates in Altamar transfers its loads with the crew itself. The value of this task is included in the monthly salary of the crew; But, even if we were assigned a value, it would not exceed $ 10 a ton. Since the time of the Marcos agreements with the USSR and Bulgaria, as well as during the operations of Calamar Charteo, there was always a resounding negative to use local stowage, due to the exposed costs. Regarding the purchase of provisions of fresh products, such as some vegetable or fruit, they probably buy leek and onion of green, the rest is rice and spices that they bring from their countries. The diesel takes it on a high seas to a value subsidized by the Chinese government. Chinese workers do not have passports and will not be able to go down for fear of defections. In short, this "Great idea ” will limit themselves to giving them support to improve the efficiency of Chinese ships transfining in a safe port or making some repairs that make them waste a lot of time due to the very high seas conditions and, in addition, on trips to and from the Ports will have to capture in the Argentine Zee and make valuable information about the situation of the resource when using sonars during its transfer, an issue that is worth a fortune, in terms of evaluating the length of the campaign and estimating the quantities of the recruitment. All this in exchange for nothing ». And it is truly so. It is unheard of opening the ports to the Chinese under the pretext of generating businesses. They do not navigate thousands of miles for it, but to take our resources to the lowest possible cost, as is logical in any company and, even more, when they must account for the Chinese state. With the illegal fishing that the Chinese take we could multiply in 100% Argentine employment and develop the Patagonian coast. There is no reason to ask the Chinese - who will not be free - to solve Argentine problems and less pretend to eliminate illegal fishing by giving them the ports or giving logistics facilities; On the contrary, it will definitely be to close all the doors of future agreements on the high seas, contrary to the most basic negotiating process.
