Sino-US trade tensions escalate, China takes countermeasures against port fees from the United States.

Foreign media: China announced countermeasures against the new port fees that will be implemented by the United States.

The United States will impose additional port fees on ships built or operated by China in two weeks. In response, China revised the International Shipping Regulations, allowing for reciprocal measures, including charging special fees on related vessels, restricting or prohibiting access to Chinese ports, and banning related organizations and individuals from obtaining Chinese shipping data or participating in related business.

Industry analysts believe this is a response to the U.S. Trade Representative's Section 301 investigation, which will further complicate the Sino-U.S. shipping routes. This year, the Pacific shipping routes have shown significant fluctuations due to reciprocal tariffs, and shipping companies have also been adjusting vessel deployments to reduce the impact.
