The Home Office’s plan was impeded somewhat by British law
The secret deportations: how Britain betrayed the Chinese men who served the country in World War II. During the second world war, Chinese merchant seamen helped keep Britain fed, fuelled and safe – and many gave their lives doing so. But from late 1945, hundreds of them who had settled (some married, with kids) in Liverpool suddenly disappeared. Now their children are piecing together the truth.

UN+Maritime Capitalism. I'd rather stop shipping this pairing.
Tasked to Fight Climate Change, the International Maritime Organization - A UN agency - does the Opposite, in secret. The NYT reports that the industry that generates more CO2 than all of America's coal plants has, for decades, suborned the UN agency tasked with regulating it. The IMO keeps on delaying and watering standards down (and neutering their enforcement) so much, that shipping is dirtier and more consumptive every year. Regulatory capture, old school transnational-capitalism style.
