Recent reports say that China has many distant-water fishing vessels that fish all over the world.
China's fishing fleet is the largest in the world, with more than 16,000 ships.
They fish in places like Africa, the South Pacific, and the Indian Ocean.
The reports say that sometimes these fishing vessels fish illegally, harming fish and other animals in the ocean.
This causes fish populations to decrease in many countries and affects global food security.
Many seafood products eaten in the United States come from China, so the U.S. is also very concerned about this issue.
The reports also say that some workers on these fishing vessels work very hard and are sometimes forced to work.
China exports a lot of seafood and earns a lot of money every year from it.
Some U.S. officials hope to cooperate with other countries to protect the oceans, reduce illegal fishing, and ensure everyone can eat safe seafood.
