U.S. Initiates Section 301 Probe into China's Unfair Shipbuilding Practices

The U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Tai, announced a new Section 301 probe into China's shipbuilding industry, focusing on alleged unfair trade practices. This investigation, prompted by a petition from five national labor unions, targets China's dominance in maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors in response to US economic and trade restrictions. The Chinese Commerce Ministry criticized the U.S. actions as based on 'false accusations' and contrary to economic sense, urging the U.S. to respect multilateral rules. The probe reflects ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over trade policies, with the U.S. administration expressing concerns over China's impact on American jobs and national security.
