  • Chinese Fishing Fleet - Global Order’s Blind Spot - Trailer
    2026/01/20
    The world's largest fishing fleet operates in full view yet beyond accountability, exploiting gaps in international law that reveal fundamental failures in global governance. Chinese Fishing Fleet: Global Order's Blind Spot examines how thousands of vessels function as instruments of state power while evading enforcement, why monitoring technology cannot substitute for political will, and what systematic inaction reveals about institutional priorities. Hosted by geopolitical analyst Alexandra Reeves, this series offers clear-eyed analysis of jurisdictional gaps, labor exploitation, enforcement illusions, and the long-term consequences of allowing industrial extraction to proceed unchecked. Understanding this fleet means understanding how power actually operates when rules exist but accountability remains optional.

  • When the Ships Go Dark
    2026/01/20
    Episode 3: When the Ships Go Dark This episode focuses on how fishing vessels manipulate tracking systems and exploit the gap between observation and enforcement. It examines AIS transponder manipulation, satellite monitoring capabilities, and investigative journalism efforts while analyzing why increased visibility has not translated into increased accountability. The episode explores the difference between documenting violations and preventing them, the technical and economic asymmetries favoring evasion over monitoring, and what the persistence of illegal fishing despite unprecedented transparency reveals about the relationship between political will and enforcement capacity in international maritime governance.

  • A Fleet Without Borders
    2026/01/20
    Episode 2: A Fleet Without Borders This episode examines how the Chinese fishing fleet operates across jurisdictional boundaries, exploiting gaps between territorial seas, exclusive economic zones, and the high seas. It analyzes how flags of convenience, fragmented enforcement regimes, and uneven political will create an environment where accountability is diffuse to the point of meaninglessness. The episode explores why no single authority effectively governs high seas activity, how enforcement depends on capacity and diplomatic relationships rather than legal principles alone, and what borderless operations reveal about the limits of sovereignty-based governance systems in managing transnational resource extraction.

  • The Blind Spot
    2026/01/20
    Episode 1: The Blind Spot This episode introduces the Chinese distant-water fishing fleet as a phenomenon hiding in plain sight, examining why industrial fishing has remained peripheral to traditional security conversations despite its massive scale. It explores how the fleet grew through government subsidies and strategic policy, why global institutions struggle to address it as a serious international issue, and how categorical confusion between economic activity and security concern has allowed systematic exploitation to persist. The episode establishes that this is not a hidden problem but a structural omission reflecting deeper failures in how international governance prioritizes and responds to transnational challenges.
