No it isn't.
Both of the two Chinese registries are open, pretty much anyone can register ships there. It's a bit like the .tv domain — if you see something.tv you can't assume that it's a company in the country Tuvalu.
Look at the nationality of the captain and the beneficial owner instead.
And as a result .tv domains are not exactly trusted and can't be used for all the things reputable domains can be used for.
IIRC abuse correlates closely with the price of registration for the first year, and poorly or not at all with how open the registration policy is.
Right. So they might need some motivation to change that.
what are you implying?
how do you intend to "motivate" a sovereign country?
Inform them of consequences if they don't make your, hopefully reasonable, changes.
Consequences can range from inconvenient to existential.
