1, China
2, Indonesia
3, the Philippines
4, Thailand
5, Vietnam

Indonesia doesn't have trash collection so they just dump their garbage into a nearby river which simply flows out to sea, problem solved.

Plastic? being dumped to the ocean? that is terrible.

"Toxins from pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals used on farms contaminate nearby rivers that flow into the ocean, which can cause extensive loss of marine life in bays and estuaries leading to the creation of dead zones. The dumping of industrial, nuclear and other waste into oceans was legal until the early 1970's when it became regulated; however, dumping still occurs illegally everywhere..."




or is it your point about China against?
