Why China’s Ports Empire Has the US Worried
Résumé IA

Every year, China imports about 66,000 metric tons of these.
That's the weight of about 6.5 Parisian landmarks.
Or if you like, 440 blue whales.
And most of these avocados come all the way from Peru.
This journey used to take over a month.
Now it's a straight shot.
Cutting it by ten days.
Why? One word: megaport.
And it's paid for by China.
Chinese President Xi Jinping begins a week-long
South America tour, opening a China funded megaport in Peru.
This is a huge investment not only for Peru but in Latin America,
and it is expected to triple agricultural exports of Peru.
Over the last 20 years, China has built up a network of about
100 ports on every continent except Antarctica,
clustered around key maritime chokepoints,
which are crucial to global trade.
This gives China a strategic advantage as global trade tensions rise.
But it's also sparking concerns.
Even though these ports by and large are commercial ports.
Some of them do actually have the capacity to host naval vessels.
So why did China build a global ports empire?
And should Washington be worried about it?
Without ports, the global economy pretty much grinds to a halt.
Roughly about 80% of global trade is conducted
via ships, and ports are crucial to that.
Six of the ten busiest ports in the world are located in China.
And 95% of the nation's trade is done by sea.
China has made itself rich by being able to find markets overseas for its
manufactured goods and being able to ship raw materials to China to be processed.
So making sure that it has access to a network of
global ports is a key part of that.
