US Monitoring Surge In China's Detention Of Panama-Flagged Vessels Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times, The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission on March 26 accused China of detaining Panama-flagged vessels in response to Panama's termination of Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison's concessions for two key ports. Panama's Supreme Court ruled in late January that the concessions held by Panama Ports Company, a unit of CK Hutchison, for the Balboa and Cristobal terminals in the Panama Canal were unconstitutional. The ruling followed an audit by Panama's comptroller, which alleged irregularities in the 25-year extension of the concession granted in 2021. Following the ruling, Panama named U.S. subsidiaries Maersk APM Terminals and Mediterranean Shipping ​Company's (MSC) Terminal Investment Limited as interim operators of the ports under 18-month contracts. Laura DiBella, commissioner at the Federal Maritime Commission—an independent federal agency regulating the U.S. international ocean ...

The era of price wars in China's electric vehicle (EV) market is giving way to a new contest: who can deliver better technology at the same price. On a cloudy evening in March, Shenzhen-based BYD put forward its answer with the unveiling of a battery capable of charging from 10 to 70 per cent in just five minutes – and to 97 per cent in nine minutes. The company said it would apply the technology to models priced as low as 155,000 yuan (US$22,500) while building 20,000 charging stations this......

Americans Are Becoming More And More Interested In Buying Chinese EVs As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows in the United States, a segment of American consumers is increasingly drawn to Chinese-made models—largely due to their affordability, advanced technology, and feature-rich designs. However, steep trade barriers and political resistance continue to keep these vehicles out of the U.S. market, according to Reuters.  With the average price of a new car in the U.S. մոտ $50,000, Chinese EVs—many of which sell for under $30,000 in international markets—are gaining attention for offering strong value. Models from automakers such as BYD, Geely, and Zeekr often include premium interiors, advanced driver-assistance systems, and unique features like in-car entertainment and mini refrigerators, typically found in higher-end vehicles. Reuters writes that industry experts note that Chinese automakers have rapidly improved both quality and innovation. China has recently surpassed Japan to b...

In Surprise Move, Iran Blocks Two Chinese Ships From Transiting Hormuz In a surprise twist, Iran appears to have turned its back on its best (and only) client, Beijing, when it blocked two China-owned container vessels from the Strait of Hormuz in what the WSJ said was an unusual move by Tehran, which has focused its shipping blockade on countries it deems supporters of Israel and the U.S. Paper says “open.” Reality says something else. Today, two ultra‑large COSCO container ships — CSCL Indian Ocean and CSCL Arctic Ocean — tried to exit the Gulf through Iran's “approved” Hormuz lane… but turned back even after Iran said Chinese ships could pass. Operators… pic.twitter.com/vbEn0WKQYm — The Maritime (@themaritimenet) March 27, 2026 The two ships - CSCL Indian Ocean and CSCL Arctic Ocean - made U-turns near Larak Island, about 20 miles from the port of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, the WSJ reported.

Soaring Prices Set To Crash China's LNG Imports To 8-Year Low Submitted by Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com Surging LNG prices amid the war in the Middle East are set to lead to the lowest monthly LNG imports into China in eight years as Qatari and UAE supply is off the market and Chinese buyers look to raise supply from domestic gas production and pipeline deliveries. China is on track to import about 3.7 million tons of LNG in March, per tanker-tracking data by Kpler cited by Bloomberg. That would be the lowest monthly import level in the world's top LNG importer since the spring of 2018, as well as a 25% slump compared to March 2025, according to Bloomberg data and analysis. The de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz has stranded all Qatari and UAE supply of LNG. Additionally, Qatar's LNG capacity has been severely damaged by Iranian missile attacks, which forced state firm QatarEnergy to declare force majeure on contracts and start quantifying the losses. The Iranian missile attacks...

The war in Iran has reshaped the dynamics between the United States and China, delaying a planned summit between President Trump and President Xi and exposing competing priorities. Former US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns says Beijing is balancing its political ties to Iran with its deeper economic reliance on Gulf energy supplies, while avoiding direct involvement in the conflict. As Washington and Beijing look ahead to renewed talks on trade, supply chains, and security, the episode highlights both the limits of China's global influence and the broader competition between the two powers.
