Iceland, Japan and Norway are the culprits still supporting whaling, not China - just fyi :)

Did China stop whaling or did they just add it to the list of things they have to be quiet about? like how drugs are heavily controlled on the mainland and yet fentanyl precursors almost all come from China before being smuggled into US?

China joined the IWC over 40 years ago and banned whaling. They do not engage in commercial whaling.

Perhaps use a better word than culprit, since fishing whale is legal in all three of those places!

  Human morality is above any nations petty laws. Culprit is the right word for those monsters still slaughtering these magnificent creatures.
Evil would be a better one.

>... since fishing whale is legal ...

The choice of verb is ironic given whales are mammals. I suppose that's why they call it whaling, although even that obscures the horror.
