“…Third, the development of the PRC's shipping industry is also in face of a myriad of uncertain factors and challenges, including the uncertainty of the global economic and trade situation, and the fierce competition between domestic and foreign shipping companies (Anwar, 2019;Huang et al, 2020). Particularly, various trade protection measures implemented under the pretext of "fair trade" has brought huge challenges to the shipping industry.…”

Being the adjustment of the development strategy of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the “PRC”), the new domestic and international dual-cycle development pattern forms the policy framework and target of the PRC’s future shipping industry. By exam the policy innovations taken in the Pilot Free Trade Zones/Free Trade Port and high-level Free Trade Agreements signed by PRC, this paper provides a conceptual research on the path to the construction of a domestic and international dual cycle of the PRC’s shipping industry. It is argued that the internal shipping policy innovations and international agreements has laid the foundation of the path, but resistance such as weak modern shipping service industry, unattractive international shipping system, and myriad of uncertain factors and challenges need to be addressed. It is deemed necessary to optimize the deployment of shipping industry in the logistic system and strengthen the innovation of new development model with combination of digital technologies.

“…These developments particularly disturbed the Western political system, that was observing China becoming the center of the world's commercial and manufacturing industry, during the first decade of the 21st century. Nevertheless, China has laid a strong foundation for trade cooperation with the European Union, upgrading the Chinese merchant fleet and establishing strategic partnerships with maritime trade lobbies such as the Hellenic (Huang et al, 2020). In addition, it formed commercial agreements on port control at important points, of the China-EU maritime trade route (Van der Putten, 2014).…”

This paper approaches the "Security Dilemma" as the cornerstone of Realist school of thought strategic Theory. According to that, states are regularly trapped into competition escalations, due to the lack of a clear “opponent” strategy and operational decisions’ understanding. This situation, leads to political distrust, occurring economical rivalries and military conflicts. Subsequently, 21st century China’s commercial and military power rising, creates fear for the states in the East Asia region and the global naval powers, a situation that promotes a new world competition between USA and China.

“…One of them is the economic development of the country: regions in China other than coastal regions are increasingly the location of manufacturing and trade, and many cities would be in a difficult and expensive logistics position to develop further without international railway connections. Bucsky [3] argues that deficit in service trade of China is another difficulty-by having transports mostly arranged through Kazakhstan and Mongolia, this means that a higher amount of transportation work is done in China (in international shipping, China is a major player; however, other nations also do have an important presence, as shown in Huang et al [24]). In addition, environmental reasons should not be forgotten-railways compete in the first place within a continental framework with airlines.…”

For decades, trade between Europe and China has grown consistently, which has resulted in increased container transportation volumes. Such transportation has been dominated by sea-based options. However, over the years, an air-based mode of transport was developed, while it has lately become increasingly popular to use railways utilizing the Trans-Siberian land bridge. This latter approach boomed amid the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. However, the railway container boom in Eurasia has deeper roots than just the COVID-19 era. As is illustrated in this research work, international trade containers (trade between Russia and other countries, mostly China) and transit containers (e.g., serving the Chinese–EU route) were already showing some significance as early as 2003–2004. In 2020, their volume was already measured in the millions, regardless of the railway data source being used. This is well above the starting period in the 1980s and 1990s, when total annual volumes were around 0.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). Container capacity has developed over the years, first being used for international trade and only lately for transit. As a preliminary comparison to air freight, the growth rate was roughly double that in the two-decade observation period.
