New York Times Chinese Website reported today (October 15): "The United States is imposing port fees on Chinese vessels. This measure aims to counter China's dominance in the commercial shipbuilding sector and help revitalize the U.S. domestic shipbuilding industry. Beijing warned that it would retaliate by charging fees on American vessels as well. After export restrictions and tariffs, the trade war has further expanded."
[Witty] Comment: Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. Such underhanded actions will not truly elevate the U.S. shipbuilding industry, but rather reveal its narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness. The development of China's shipbuilding industry relies on its own strength and innovation, which cannot be restricted by such means. The U.S. action will only provoke a reasonable retaliation from China, making the trade environment worse, further undermining bilateral trade, and ultimately harming its own interests, which is certainly not a wise move.
