This study will give us vital information on how to better protect U.S. shippers and manufacturers from the CCP’s unfair business practices.” Johnson’s provision is included in Sec. 3521 of the Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces bill. This provision was originally included in Johnson’s Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act, which passed the House in March 2024 and awaits action in the Senate. This is a part of his larger effort to protect U.S. ports, shippers, and manufacturers from the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence. In February, Rep. Johnson led a coalition of Members urging the Federal Maritime Commission to counter CCP dominance in global shipping exchanges. Last year, Rep. Johnson secured a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to prohibit the use of the CCP state-controlled shipping platform LOGINK at U.S. ports. Background: The Shanghai Shipping Exchange (SSE) is the more widely known Chinese shipping exchange. A “shipping exchange” is a platform that connects shippers with carriers to make agreements or contracts for transporting cargo. Founded in 1996, the SSE is operated by the Ministry of Transport and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. The SSE is tasked by the Chinese government with regulating China’s shipping market, maintaining transaction order, and driving the development of China’s shipping market. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z |
