The move by the United States has indeed had a significant impact on us. Japanese companies have suspended orders for liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers from China! According to a May 24 report by Nikkei Asia, Japanese media reported that in light of the U.S. announcement to impose port fees on ships made in China, Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), the shipping giant with the world's largest LNG carrier fleet, has decided to suspend new orders for LNG carriers from Chinese shipyards.
Relevant information shows that MOL owns a total of 107 LNG carriers, and its fleet size ranks first globally. It is undeniable that Japan's suspension of ordering LNG carriers from us is a very bad sign. This indicates that more foreign companies may, under pressure from the United States, stop ordering liquefied natural gas carriers produced by us, which will inevitably have a certain impact on our shipbuilding industry.
Therefore, we must take countermeasures against the United States' actions that harm our interests. From our perspective, we have at least two cards to play in countering the United States. First, we can adopt stricter rare earth control measures. Second, we can impose higher transit or landing fees on all American-made Boeing aircraft. The United States will not stop unless it feels pain. When necessary, we should act without hesitation and need not be polite to the United States!
