(CMS) Combatting Maritime Dominance with the Trade Act

Writer's picture: AdminAdmin

"The results of the investigation were staggering, though not surprising. They found that Beijing deliberately targeted the shipbuilding sector for nearly three decades and has become increasingly aggressive in its efforts to dominate shipbuilding, maritime commerce, and logistics. It is noteworthy that this effort began shortly after the end of the Cold War as America’s interest in its own shipbuilding capabilities rapidly diminished with the fading specter of the Soviet threat. One cannot help but notice that America gave China an opening which they rapidly and ruthlessly exploited. This does not alter the fact that China engaged in unfair practices which run counter to the agreed upon rules of fair commerce and reciprocal trade. It was these actions which allowed China to rise so quickly and directly harm American shipbuilders. But we cannot, for the sake of future policy and national security strategy, overlook the fact that America turned a blind eye to its eroding shipbuilding capacity allowing a malicious foreign actor to step in and take advantage."
