On April 18, according to Agence France-Presse, on April 17 local time, the United States announced plans to impose new port fees on ships built and operated by China, and most of the new measures will take effect in mid-October this year. The report quoted US Trade Representative Jamison Greer as saying that the new port fees for Chinese ships originated from an investigation initiated by the previous US administration. The new measures of the Trump administration are aimed at promoting the development of the US shipbuilding industry and curbing China's dominance in the field. At the regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on April 18, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin Jian, said in response to the Bloomberg reporter's question "What is your response to this?" We have stated our position on the relevant issue many times before. I would like to reiterate here that measures such as the imposition of port fees and tariffs on cargo handling equipment are harming others and others. They not only push up the cost of global shipping, but also disrupt the stability of the global production and supply chain. They will also increase inflationary pressure in the United States, harm the interests of American consumers and businesses, and ultimately fail to revitalize the US shipbuilding industry. We urge the US to respect facts and multilateral rules and immediately stop its wrong practices. China will take necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
