The first American ship has been fined, will Trump correct the wrong approach?
After China's measures to charge port fees on American ships took effect, the first result has already emerged.
On the 17th, Hong Kong media "South China Morning Post" quoted sources as saying that the "Manukai" cargo ship of the American Matson Shipping Company, which was docked in Ningbo, became the first American vessel to pay port fees to China, and was charged 4.46 million yuan.
The report said that now American shipping companies either choose to adjust their routes, docking at Busan, South Korea, and transferring goods, or clarify their equity structure, or adjust their board composition, in an attempt to indicate that they have not reached the threshold for being charged port fees.
Additionally, at a meeting held in Norfolk, Virginia, American shipping industry executives believe that this charging policy is unsustainable, and expect that China and the United States will soon reach a broader trade agreement - but is it really possible?
It should be noted that the series of countermeasures China has issued in the field of trade are all responses to America's unilateral trade bullying, that is, the United States initiated the trade war and tariff war first, and China is just defending itself - but will the arrogant American government realize its mistakes?
Evidently not. Although Trump, Besent and others have recently spoken softly to ease the tension between China and the United States, in specific policy implementation, the United States has not corrected its wrong approach yet - which indicates that the Trump administration is still trying to use the chips it has fabricated out of nowhere to extort China's real interests.
