China just started adding new port fees on ships that are U.S.-owned or built, while giving Chinese ships a pass. In response, the U.S. plans to add 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting November 1.
Moves like this keep raising costs for trade between the two countries and add more tension to an already fragile relationship. It feels like every time progress is made, another issue sets things back. If this keeps going, it could start to affect prices and supply chains around the world.

It's interesting how both sides keep escalating instead of easing tensions. These new port fees and the U.S. response with 100% tariffs show how fragile trade relations have become. If neither side backs down soon, the ripple effects could go far beyond shipping, hurting consumers and industries that rely on global supply chains.
