"China is undeniably one of the major influences in the global ocean economy."

Alfredo Giron, director of the Ocean Agenda at the World Economic Forum, recently sat down with CGTN reporter Keerqinfu, and cited some striking numbers: Over half the world's offshore wind is installed in China, most of the world's busiest ports are Chinese, and a huge share of global seafood passes through Chinese markets.

Giron also highlighted China's recent proposal to strengthen marine conservation in Antarctica, along with its bid to host the secretariat of the BBNJ Agreement – the international treaty aimed at protecting marine life in areas beyond national jurisdiction. He sees these initiatives as signs of China's willingness to take a leading role in ocean conservation, while giving other countries an opportunity to learn from its experience.
