Ocean fishing requires boats which require engines, navigation equipment etc etc.

Also, of course the extra effort that go to constrained sectors can't be expended for food production.

And a lot of the world follows US sanctions.

Calling "commies bad" is oversimplifying the situation. Ps China is a centrally planned economy that is the biggest in the world now.

But really the US should stop these sanctions. It's crazy that they still exist.

China moved away from central-planning 40 years ago.

"From 1978 and for three decades afterward, China moved from central planning and autarky to a market-oriented economy."
