China鈥檚 commercial maritime dominance is unprecedented in modern history. Its shipbuilding industry is more than 200 times larger than that of the United States. Last year, it won three-quarters of the world鈥檚 shipbuilding orders and delivered three ships to the Chinese navy for each ship American shipbuilders completed for the US Navy. China鈥檚 commercial fleet is about 10 times larger than that of the US, and China has ownership interests in more than 100 ports outside of China, including at every maritime chokepoint. This maritime dominance gives China extraordinary power to manipulate vital supply chains.

Jennifer Carpenter, president of the American Waterways Operators and the American Maritime Partnership, will join Senior Fellow Michael Roberts to discuss how America鈥檚 maritime industry can help counter China鈥檚 shipping and shipbuilding dominance.
