China seeks to re-shape international fishing rules and global standards to its advantage. Over the past decade, China has increased the size of its distant waters fishing fleet and become a leader in the international fishing industry. In 2016, Chinese distant waters fishing vessels executed 17 million hours of fishing, more than the next 10 countries combined. China is using its fishing power and influence to achieve domestic and foreign policy goals by pursuing cooperation agreements worldwide, constructing fishing ports and processing facilities, and gaining access to restricted fishing areas through opaque business structures.

The incumbent may also participate in national and international fishing engagements to include the International Institute of Fisheries Economics and Trade Symposium, the World Fisheries Congress, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Marine Resources Conference.
