China’s Global Network of Shipping Ports Is Too Big for Trump to Unravel

1. China has outmaneuvered the USA in naval vessels numbers and more recent age. The same tactic has been applied in the business aspect of the seas with the Chinese management of port commerce throughout the globe The USA is definitely beleauered to cope with this threat with little effort to catch up let alone match the Chinese networks of ownership. This sets the USA under Trump on a backfoot and losing presence on the globe to protect its diminished shipping interests.

2. Their “string of pearls” have steadily spread across the globe and certainly these ports play a massive role in China’s increasing soft power. Though I will be more worried once China has 877 military bases in 95 countires on every continent.

3. Why don’t USA companies build, buy, and operate ports around the world? They have the money and the means, why don’t they do it?
