The Panama canal Was Only the Beginning.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has announced sweeping new measures targeting China's growing dominance in global maritime sectors, including potential fees of up to $1.5 million per port call for Chinese-built vessels, $1 million per port call for operators of Chinese-built ships, and mandatory U.S.-flag shipping requirements.

Snipped. But there's a lot to read.
