Greek shipowner is really a man of integrity, firmly supporting China's ships and saying no to Trump. He would rather withdraw from the U.S. routes than give up Chinese ships.
America now wants to restrict and suppress any thriving Chinese industry it sees. They are unwilling to give us any room for survival. Even Chinese garlic is now being portrayed as a threat to American security. The rapid development of China's shipbuilding industry has also become an object of suppression by Trump. Trump publicly announced that if Chinese ships enter American ports, high tariffs will be imposed. It is clear that Trump intends to crush China's shipbuilding industry and prevent its rapid development.
However, China's share of the global shipbuilding market is too large. Our ships not only have high quality but also low prices, and more importantly, they are irreplaceable by other countries. After Trump imposed unreasonable suppression measures, Greek shipowner truly stood out as a man of integrity. He boldly said no to Trump and clearly supported China's ships. Greek shipowner Evangelos Marinakis announced that if the U.S. imposes port surcharges on Chinese-built ships, over 140 ships under his ownership will withdraw from U.S. routes.
In choosing between U.S. routes and Chinese ships, Greek shipowner firmly chose Chinese ships. Greek shipowner is indeed a man of integrity and has a very clear stance, emphasizing that "shipowners can only choose China because of its competitiveness in capacity, price, and quality." In fact, most shipping companies around the world know they can only choose Chinese ships, but they dare not speak out against the U.S. Greek shipowner has set an example, and more people will step forward to support China next.
