00:04fill it.
00:05Starting today, both superpowers are slapping extra fees on each other's ships.
00:10Chinese ports are charging US-linked vessels more while American ports are hitting back
00:14at Chinese and Chinese flagships.

00:21Supply chains that took decades to build could be rerouted overnight.
00:24The ripple effects?
00:25Higher freight costs that get passed down to you.
00:27Smaller businesses getting squeezed out by surging transit fees.
00:32But here's the bigger picture, trade policy has become a weapon.
00:36Every port, every shipping route, every maritime rule is now viewed through the lens of geopolitical
00:41power.
00:42We're not just watching a trade war anymore, we're witnessing the militarization of global
00:46commerce itself.
