Trump wrote today (on Beijing Time April 21st): "A Gift from China in the Pacific Ocean!"
[Cleverly] Comment: Claiming marine pollution as a "gift from China" is another false narrative spread by Trump. Marine plastic pollution is a transnational issue. Recent data shows that the Philippines currently tops the list, with over 10% of the ocean plastic waste in the Pacific coming from the Philippines. China, Indonesia, and other countries follow closely behind. Moreover, fishing gear waste in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch mainly comes from the United States, Japan, and other countries. Pollution is a global issue, not just a problem for one country. Only through international cooperation can we solve the marine environmental issues.
