George Landrith of the Frontiers of Freedom institute writes on China's maritime strategy in The Defense Post and how a strong American Maritime keeps the U.S. safe.
While some seek to weaken or discard the Jones Act and throw away the careers of the men and women of American Maritime, many of these advocates seem to not understand that it would play into China's hands.
Landrith: "Who in their right mind would want to allow Chinese built, crewed, and flagged ships to sail up and down the more than 20,000 miles of inland waterways?"
