- The USTR issued a Section 301 report in January 2025. The report suggests China has tried to achieve dominance in global shipping, to the detriment of US commerce.
- The report is flawed, in data (it somehow manages to make up data which is otherwise available from MARAD), analytics, and conclusions, but the Trump administration has run with it.
- In February, the USTR announced "Proposed Actions" - fees for Chinese liners and international liners with Chinese ships, and restrictions on future exports. US users lose. And there are loopholes.
