A ship linked to China’s military sailed from Baltimore. That should worry US workers.

The article argues that a vessel with links to China’s military departing Baltimore exposes a potential security and economic risk for the United States. It says the incident should concern American maritime workers because it highlights reliance on foreign-linked shipping and could weaken domestic shipping capacity.

The piece appears to criticise a proposed or granted Jones Act waiver associated with the Trump administration, arguing that such exemptions may undermine US-flagged vessels and union jobs. It frames the issue as both a national-security concern and a threat to the long-term competitiveness of America’s maritime industry.
