  • How US Maritime Industries Can Help Deter China

    How US Maritime Industries Can Help Deter China
    Mar 24 2025
    China’s commercial maritime dominance is unprecedented in modern history. Last year, it won three-quarters of the world’s shipbuilding orders and delivered three ships to the Chinese navy for each ship American shipbuilders completed for the US Navy. 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’s maritime industry can help counter China’s shipping and shipbuilding dominance.
