Group 1 - The Chinese government maintains a consistent and clear stance, advocating for dialogue and negotiation based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit, rather than pressure and intimidation from the U.S. [3] - The Chinese Ministry of Commerce criticized U.S. Treasury Secretary's comments as a serious distortion of facts, emphasizing that the Chinese delegation's visit to Washington was in line with discussions on U.S.-China economic relations [4][6] - The Chinese side has been actively engaging with the U.S. regarding the 301 investigation and related restrictions, while the U.S. has shown a negative attitude, insisting on implementing restrictive measures [6] Group 2 - The U.S. measures against Chinese shipbuilding and related industries are characterized as unilateralism and protectionism, which harm China's industrial interests and could increase inflation in the U.S., affecting port competitiveness and employment [6] - The Chinese government views its countermeasures as necessary defensive actions to maintain a fair competitive environment in international shipping and shipbuilding markets [6] - The Chinese side hopes the U.S. will recognize its erroneous actions and return to the correct path of dialogue and negotiation [6]

Core Viewpoint - China has initiated reciprocal measures against the US 301 investigation, aiming to correct US actions and maintain the competitiveness of its shipbuilding industry [1][2]. Group 1: Reciprocal Measures - The US 301 investigation, effective from October 14, 2025, imposes special port fees on Chinese vessels docking at US ports. In response, China will impose similar fees on US vessels docking at Chinese ports, set at 400 RMB per net ton, slightly higher than the US fee of 50 USD per net ton, with annual increases over the next three years [1][2]. - The reciprocal measures are designed to promote fair competition in the international shipping and shipbuilding markets, encouraging long-term confidence among Chinese trade shipowners in building vessels in China [2]. Group 2: Impact on Shipping Costs - The US is a major importer in the shipping industry, and the reciprocal measures will directly affect US shipping companies, including Matson Navigation and others with investments in Chinese shipping firms. Current market share estimates indicate that companies like COSCO and Matson hold about 25% of the Asia-US route [2]. - Although there may be short-term disruptions, it is expected that the overall industry costs will not rise significantly due to these measures, as the Chinese Ministry of Transport has initiated investigations that may lead to compensatory measures to alleviate pressure on Chinese shipping companies [2]. Group 3: Effects on Oil and Bulk Shipping - The reciprocal measures will extend to oil and bulk shipping, potentially leading to a reduction in effective shipping capacity. Approximately 15% of oil tankers and 4% of bulk carriers are owned or operated by US-listed companies, which may face increased costs due to the new fees [3]. - For instance, a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) docking at a Chinese port would incur a special port fee of 42 million RMB, translating to an increase of nearly 3 USD per barrel in shipping costs, with daily earnings for routes from the Middle East to China potentially rising by over 130,000 USD [3]. - The outlook for oil shipping remains positive, with expectations of high freight rates driven by steady demand and rigid supply, suggesting that the market may perform better than anticipated [3].

Group 1 - The National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on October 15, supporting the production projects of green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel, as well as large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects, with a support ratio of 20% of the total investment for various energy-saving and carbon reduction projects [1] - The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is moving towards a net-zero emissions framework, with a draft amendment set to be voted on October 17, establishing a carbon emissions reward and punishment mechanism for shipping companies, which will take effect in 2027 [1] Group 2 - Green fuels are expected to become the main fuel choice for decarbonization in the shipping industry in the medium term, with a long-term shift towards green hydrogen and green ammonia [2] - The National Energy Administration announced the first batch of pilot projects for green liquid fuel technology, including five green methanol projects and three green ammonia projects, involving companies like Shanghai Electric and Goldwind Technology [2] - Suggested companies to watch include those involved in green methanol production, such as China Tianying, Jidian Co., Shanghai Electric, and others, as well as companies in the green hydrogen industry chain and biomass/carbon capture sectors [2]

齐鲁晚报.齐鲁壹点记者赵波通讯员代新兴 10月16日，在中韩共同推动下，韩国济州历史上首条国际集装箱定期班轮航线——"青岛—济州"集装箱航线在青岛邮轮母港首航，将实现青岛至济州的直 达连接。这是落实山东省高水平对外开放战略的务实举措，将搭建起以现代航运连接中韩经贸与人文的新桥梁。 济州是中国人民了解韩国文化与自然风貌的重要窗口，早在2008年就与山东省建立了"友好省道"关系。山东地处"一带一路"十字交汇点，山东港口是距离 韩国最近的中国港口、RCEP面向韩国的"桥头堡"，也是黄河流域最经济便捷的"出海口"，东西互济、陆海联动，通达韩国、联通世界的区位优势明显。 为促成此次合作，2023年3月26日，山东省港口集团与韩国济州特别自治道签署合作意向书；2024年4月1日，山东港口旗下的山东远洋海运集团成立专项 工作小组，与济州海洋水产局对接并签署框架协议；2025年初，山东远洋海运集团与济州特别自治道就航线合作主要内容达成共识；2025年8月，航线获 中韩主管部门正式批复，明确由山东远洋海运集团负责航线运营。 新航线开通后，济州将告别以往进出口货物主要经釜山或仁川中转、全程耗时5至14天的传统物流模式，形成每周一 ...

商务部网站消息，10月16日下午，商务部新闻发言人何咏前在北京主持例行新闻发布会。 彭博社记者：彭博社表示，在本周于华盛顿特区发表的评论中，美国财政部长贝森特称中国商务部副部 长李成钢在8月28日发表了一些"煽动性"的言论，并且未经邀请就出现在华盛顿特区，而且举止不敬。 贝森特还表示，李成钢曾说过"如果港口运输费用得以通过，中国将引发全球混乱"。请问对此有何评 论？李成钢副部长是否会针对这一评论作出回应？ 何咏前：美方有关言论严重歪曲事实。当地时间8月27-29日，李成钢国际贸易谈判代表兼副部长赴美 国，与美方围绕落实中美两国元首通话共识，就中美经贸关系、落实中美经贸会谈共识等问题进行交流 沟通，并就美对华造船等行业301调查限制措施等向美方提出交涉。 近期，中方按照两国元首通话共识和中美经贸会谈共识，一直主动与美方就301调查限制措施进行磋商 沟通，秉持建设性姿态，并提出相关合作建议。但美方态度消极，执意实施限制措施，中方不得不采取 反制措施，包括依法依规对涉美船舶收取特别港务费。 美对华造船等行业301调查及限制措施是典型的单边主义和保护主义做法，严重损害中国相关产业利 益，也会推高美国内通胀，损害美港口 ...
