China is far from dominating the global EV market. Fair competition should focus on leveraging U.S. strengths rather than undermining China. https://t.co/3xSqUwVSCJ

My latest commentary on the spy crane probes last week. It is easy to overlook the gathering storm over the shipping industry when TikTok and EV are dominating headlines. But neither of those will be as disruptive as the U.S.' move on shipping.
