Answer: China was making up figures
Explanation:
This question is based on the documentary film, ''The End of the Line'' which was done on the effects of fishing worldwide. In 2001, records showed that local stocks of fish were down around the world yet worldwide figures were increasing at a record rate.
The United Nations hired someone to investigate this and what he found was that Communist China was inflating the amount of fish they were harvesting so that they could look more efficient.
