On October 14, the United States, based on the results of the so-called 301 survey, officially implemented restrictive measures such as port charges in China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding fields.

A: The US measures are typical unilateralism and protectionism. They seriously violate WTO rules and violate the principle of equality and reciprocity of the China-US Maritime Transport Agreement. They give shipping and shipbuilding companies of relevant countries an unfair competitive advantage and constitute a violation of China's shipping, shipbuilding and other industries. Discriminatory practices seriously damage the interests of relevant industries in China. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this. It announced on October 10 that it would charge special port fees on ships involving American elements such as U.S. flag, American made, owned, or operated by American companies.

The US measures not only affect the stability of the global supply chain, significantly increase the cost of international trade, but also increase domestic inflation in the United States, damage the competitiveness and employment of the U.S. port, affect the security and resilience of the U.S. supply chain.

In order to further safeguard the interests of China's related industries, relevant Chinese departments have included some companies that assist and support the relevant U.S. investigation activities in accordance with the National Security Law of the People's Republic of China, the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law of the People's Republic of China, and the International Shipping Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the counter-list, and launched investigations into the actions of the United States and some countries and enterprises that endanger the safety and development interests of my country's shipping, shipbuilding and other related industries. During the implementation of the investigation, China will conduct law enforcement and investigations in accordance with the principles of openness, fairness and impartiality to fully protect the rights of all stakeholders.

China's position on relevant issues is clear, consistent, fighting, accompanying the end; talks and doors are open.China urges the United States to correct its wrong practices, and move forward with China to solve the issues of concerns of the two sides through equal dialogue and consultation.
