Did China stop whaling or did they just add it to the list of things they have to be quiet about? like how drugs are heavily controlled on the mainland and yet fentanyl precursors almost all come from China before being smuggled into US?

China joined the IWC over 40 years ago and banned whaling. They do not engage in commercial whaling.

That's because many people allow their (completely warranted) distrust of the CCP to justify all sorts of other spurious, baseless accusations of the CCP.

The CCP has done many things that deserve criticism; let's not invent new ones.

I think you are confusing China and Japan. The latter of which conduct the hunt openly.
