要知道，一艘20万吨级的散货船，单次停靠费用可能会达到1000万美元。 这可是要比当初美国所说的对中国货轮每艘征收100万至150万美元的进港费，整整又增加了十倍。 近段时间，事关中美博弈有了新的变化，因为美国宣布，从本月14日起，美国海关与边境保护局将会依 据，美国贸易代表办公室"301调查"框架，对中国拥有的、运营的或建造的船舶征收港口费用。 同时也会负责执行收费。 这已经不是普通征税这么简单了，而是直接瞄准中国航运命脉的"精准外科手术式打击"。 而且美国不仅是针对中国运营的船只，连中国建造的船只也会收，不止打击外贸，还想打击中国的造船 业。 简直就是岂有此理，让人无比生气，甚至是用了一招最下流、最无耻、最狠的招数。 那么很多人就要问了，这究竟有多狠？ 这直接将中国贸易成本拉升了15%。 可以视为直接加征了15%的关税。 这可不是简单的成本增加，而是成本爆炸。 但是 我们都知道，中国制造业的普遍利润可没有这么高。 ...
