  • China's Merchant Marine
    “China’s Merchant Marine” A paper for the China as “Maritime Power” Conference July 28-29, 2015 CNA Conference Facility Arlington, Virginia by Dennis J. Blasko1 Introductory Note: The Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook defines “merchant marine” as “all ships engaged in the carriage of goods; or all commercial vessels (as opposed to all nonmilitary ships), which excludes tugs, fishing vessels, offshore oil rigs, etc.”2 At the end of 2014, the world’s merchant ship fleet consisted of over 89,000 ships.3 According to the BBC: Under international law, every merchant ship must be registered with a country, known as its flag state. That country has jurisdiction over the vessel and is responsible for inspecting that it is safe to sail and to check on the crew’s working conditions. Open registries, sometimes referred to pejoratively as flags of convenience, have been contentious from the start.4 1 Dennis J. Blasko, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired), a Senior Research Fellow with CNA’s China Studies division, is a former U.S. army attaché to Beijing and Hong Kong and author of The Chinese Army Today (Routledge, 2006).The author wishes to express his sincere thanks and appreciation to Rear Admiral Michael McDevitt, U.S. Navy (Ret), for his guidance and patience in the preparation and presentation of this paper. 2 Central Intelligence Agency, “Country Comparison: Merchant Marine,” The World Factbook, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2108.html. According to the Factbook, “DWT or dead weight tonnage is the total weight of cargo, plus bunkers, stores, etc., that a ship can carry when immersed to the appropriate load line.

  • Information Technology at COSCO
    9-305-080 REV: NOVEMBER 21, 2005 F. WARREN MCFARLAN CHEN GUOQING DAVID LANE Information Technology at COSCO To operate globally, a company like COSCO can’t rely on human brains alone. We just wouldn’t be able to stand up. In order to be a true multinational, you must have information technology to support you. We are now the second-largest shipping company in the world, and the world number two must rely on IT. — Wei Jiafu, COSCO Chairman In January 2005, Captain Wei Jiafu, chairman of Beijing-based COSCO Group, noted with pleasure the impact of COSCO’s investments in information technology (IT). COSCO had just placed ninth in an annual ranking of China’s 500 most IT-intensive companies, up from 33rd the year before, and Wei had been cited as a “most far-sighted IT enterprise leader.” Among Asia-Pacific companies, Hewlett-Packard and Business Weekly had just named COSCO an “adaptive enterprise” for its IT achievements. More importantly, IT had delivered plenty of practical benefits. Wei noted: “This year’s operating profit is RMB 12 billion,a over three times that of last year. Last year’s profit was three times that of the year before. This is the heavy impact of IT.” The benefits of IT stemmed primarily from COSCO’s recent implementation of SAP’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for financial functions and IRIS-2, a back-office system that managed container ship bookings and cargo. With this foundation laid, COSCO was now building new capabilities. Several initiatives were under way in early 2005: the consolidation of IT functions from across the group into COSCO Network, the extension of IRIS-2 beyond containers to breakbulk and other shipping, and the less tangible but no less important task of using IT to enhance COSCO’s service friendliness to customers.

  • President Trump's Plan for Pennsylvania
    President Trump’s Jobs Plan for Pennsylvania: All Job Creation is Local A Report by the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy October 21, 2020 Introduction The Obama Administration suppressed clean natural gas production—otherwise known as fracking—increased regulations, slashed the defense budget, failed to renegotiate bad trade deals like NAFTA, and raised taxes. President Trump has pursued just the opposite policies, following an “all job creation is local” approach to stimulating economic growth. Let’s see how this strategy is working for the farmers, frackers, miners, steelworkers, and families of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Fracking Helps Drive America’s Strategic Energy Dominance America’s strategic energy dominance boosts American competitiveness while insulating the United States from the strategic blackmail of entities like the OPEC cartel. America’s prolific energy production also provides cheaper prices at the gas pump and lower electricity rates, saving the average family of four $2,500 per year.1 In pursuit of such strategic dominance, President Trump has strongly supported the development of our petroleum industry, including the use of a process known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking. On April 10, 2019, President Trump signed an executive order2 making it easier to build oil and gas pipelines; and under the President’s deregulation leadership, America has emerged as the world’s largest oil and natural gas producer. 34 Under President Trump’s watch, a cumbersome Obama-era rule that placed onerous and unnecessary burdens on fracking was rescinded on December 29, 2017, enabling this industry to push forward, providing both energy and jobs across Pennsylvania and the Marcellus Shale formation.
