From fentanyl to overfishing, China's corruption demands legislative action RestoringAmerica
Belt and Road Initiative has become a vehicle for the export of corrupt practices that typify China’s domestic economy and governance.
The global plunder of natural resources is another threat that thrives on corruption. China’s illicit fishing industry pilfers essential food sources, depleting fish stocks and aggravating coastal security in the Western hemisphere. In Latin America and many African nations, corrupt officials are colluding with criminal gangs, traffickers, poachers, as well as state actors like China to degrade the environment on a scale unprecedented in living memory.
Unfortunately, last month's G-20 Summit offered few new ideas on combating corruption, a sign that global leaders do not share the Biden administration’s sense of urgency. A unified Congress could target specific resources and promote more U.S. leadership in multilateral institutions that fight corruption, illicit financial flows, protect natural resources and food supply, and promote higher standards of development, especially in global infrastructure.
