If they have such a high population and low production that they have to steal other peoples food sources, they're an existential threat to everyone else. What they will eat has been determined, and it's not likely to make the transition to local. So other people's starvation and the mass destruction of habitat will continue to be their externalities.

Much of the fish in the US is imported from China. So it's not just what "they" are eating.
Do me a favor and post the latest figures on US domestic fish vs imports, where the imports break out to on a country-by-country basis, along with separating out US domestic fish that are exported to and then imported from China in a processing loop (used for cheaper processing, not actually caught or farmed by China).

That way we can better analyze the context of what "much" actually means.

You can do that if you'd like. It's supposed to be 30% of seafood is actual Chinese imports.
