> an exhaustive survey of 152 countries...That’s a 6 percent rise since 2009

>China, which operates the world’s largest overseas fishing fleet, has increased harmful subsidies by 105 percent over the past decade

china's 105% rise contributed to 6% rise which includes all sea-faring nations. does that mean their subsidies were considerably less than the rest of the world and they are playing catchup?

If they have the largest fleet surely a 105% rise would lead to >6% globally seeing as they have the largest fleet and assuming they were on par with rest of world's subsidies?
