BEIJING/LOS ANGELES : The U.S. and China on Tuesday began charging additional port fees on ocean shipping firms that move everything from holiday toys to crude oil, making the high seas a key front in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. A return to an all-out trade war appeared imminent last week, after China announced a major expansion of its rare earths export controls and President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to triple digits. But after the weekend, both sides sought to reassure traders and investors, highlighting cooperation between their negotiating teams and the possibility they could find a way forward. China said it had started to collect the special charges on U.S.-owned, operated, built or flagged vessels but clarified that Chinese-built ships would be exempted from the levies. In details published by state broadcaster CCTV, China spelled out specific provisions on exemptions, which also include empty ships entering Chinese shipyards for repair. Similar to the U.S. plan, the new China-imposed fees would be collected at the first port of entry on a single voyage or for the first five voyages within a year. “This tit-for-tat symmetry locks both economies into a spiral of maritime taxation that risks distorting global freight flows,“ Athens-based Xclusiv Shipbrokers said in a research note. Early this year, the Trump administration announced plans to levy the fees on China-linked ships to loosen the country’s grip on the global maritime industry and bolster U.S. shipbuilding. An investigation during the former Biden administration concluded that China uses unfair policies and practices to dominate the global maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors, clearing the way for those penalties. China hit back last week, saying it would impose its own port fees on U.S.-linked vessels from the same day the U.S. fees took effect. “We are in the hectic stage of the disruption where everyone is quietly trying to improvise workarounds, with varying degrees of success,“ said independent dry bulk shipping analyst Ed Finley-Richardson. He said he has heard reports of U.S. shipowners with non-Chinese vessels trying to sell their cargoes to other countries while en route so the vessels can divert. Reuters was not immediately able to confirm. Analysts expect China-owned container carrier COSCO to be most affected by the U.S. fees, shouldering nearly half of that segment’s expected $3.2 billion cost from those fees in 2026. Major container lines, including Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM, slashed their exposure by switching China-linked ships out of their U.S. shipping lanes. Trade officials there reduced fees from initially proposed levels and exempted a broad swath of vessels after heavy pushback from the agriculture, energy and U.S. shipping industries. USTR did not immediately respond to a request for comment. China’s commerce ministry on Tuesday said, “If the U.S. chooses confrontation, China will see it through to the end; if it chooses dialogue, China’s door remains open.” In a related move, Beijing also imposed sanctions on Tuesday against five U.S.-linked subsidiaries of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean which it said had “assisted and supported” a U.S. probe into Chinese trade practices. Hanwha, one of the world’s largest shipbuilders, owns Philly Shipyard in the U.S. and has won contracts to repair and overhaul U.S. Navy ships. Its entities also will build a U.S.-flagged LNG carrier. Hanwha said it is aware of the announcement and is closely monitoring the potential business impact, and that it will continue to provide services to its customers, “including through our investments in the U.S. maritime industry and via Hanwha Philly Shipyard.” Hanwha Ocean’s shares sank nearly 6%. China also launched an investigation into how the U.S. probe affected its shipping and shipbuilding industries. Shipping lines scramble for workarounds A Shanghai-based trade consultant said the new fees may not cause significant upheaval. “What are we going to do? Stop shipping? Trade is already pretty disrupted with the U.S., but companies are finding a way,“ said the consultant, who requested anonymity because he was not authorised to speak with the media. The U.S. announced last Friday a carve-out for long-term charterers of China-operated vessels carrying U.S. ethane and LPG, deferring the port fees for them through December 10. Meanwhile, ship-tracking company Vortexa identified 45 LPG-carrying VLGCs - 11% of the total fleet - that would be subject to China’s port fee. Clarksons Research said in a report that China’s new port fees could affect oil tankers accounting for 15% of global capacity. Jefferies analyst Omar Nokta estimated that 13% of crude tankers and 11% of container ships in the global fleet would be affected. Trade war expands to environmental policy In a reprisal against China curbing exports of critical minerals, Trump on Friday threatened to slap additional 100% tariffs on goods from China and put new export controls on “any and all critical software” by November 1. Administration officials hours later warned that countries voting in favor of a plan by the U.N. International Maritime Organization to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from ocean shipping this week could face sanctions, port bans, or punitive vessel charges. China has publicly supported the IMO plan. “The weaponisation of both trade and environmental policy signals that shipping has moved from being a neutral conduit of global commerce to a direct instrument of statecraft,“ Xclusiv said. Shares in Shanghai-listed COSCO rose more than 2% in early trading on Tuesday. The company said its board had approved a plan to buy back up to 1.5 billion yuan ($210.3 million) worth of its shares within the next three months to maintain corporate value and safeguard shareholder interests. The shipping firm did not immediately respond to Reuters’ queries about the port fees. - Reuters

PETALING JAYA : Economist Prof Geoffrey Williams said Malaysia’s middle-income earners, the M40, have once again been left out in the cold following the tabling of Budget 2026, adding that stagnant wages, rising costs and shrinking purchasing power continue to batter the “forgotten middle”. He said the latest budget offers “little to anyone” in terms of raising incomes or narrowing inequality, and almost nothing for the middle class. “The government’s cash aid under the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah programmes was kept at last year’s amount, and with inflation expected at about 2%, purchasing power would fall.” He also said while moves such as raising the minimum wage may narrow inequality, the M40 gain nothing from such interventions. “There is nothing in Budget 2026 to change this. To help everyone, the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah scheme should be made monthly with RM100 available to all. Otherwise, schemes such as Budi95 or tax rebates are not really helpful. “Most M40 are not in the income tax bracket, so rebates do not matter to them.” He added that stagnant wages are a structural problem, not one caused by poor productivity or skills deficits. “Since wages are not related to productivity, improvements in skills training would not help. Only stronger employment rights, trade union representation or redistribution policies would make a difference.” He said if conditions persist, more skilled M40 workers may turn to gig work or side jobs to survive, weakening Malaysia’s formal employment base. “If Malaysia’s middle-income group continues to weaken, spending power would drag, slowing growth and deepening dependency on government support, ultimately lowering living standards.” Meanwhile, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Business School economist Assoc Prof Dr Aimi Zulhazmi Abdul Razak said Budget 2026 must be viewed as part of a broader shift towards fully targeted subsidies on essentials such as fuel, electricity, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas. “The recent budget focuses on implementing targeted subsidies on a full scale in 2026, following various preparatory measures in 2025.” He said the success of this approach depends on accurate data from the government’s centralised income database, Pangkalan Data Utama. “This is crucial to identify the financial burden of the M40, which may be masked by gross income data. “Net income is not revealed, and this is especially important for those in urban areas facing high housing, food and childcare costs.” He added that more refined data in future budgets could help deliver support effectively. “Maybe Budget 2027 would improve the use of refined data to provide more effective subsidies to the M40. “Nonetheless, Budget 2026 marks a positive step in data utilisation as the government continues to adopt digital technology under the 13th Malaysia Plan.” He said the full-scale rollout of targeted subsidies next year is expected to yield significant fiscal results, particularly in reducing the government’s deficit to 3.5% of GDP. The national budget, tabled in Parliament last Friday by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, carries a RM470 billion allocation with a strong focus on fiscal discipline, targeted aid and support for lower-income groups. While the B40 community received most of the direct financial assistance, many middle-income Malaysians say they are still bearing the brunt of rising costs with little help in sight.

IPOH - Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru (PIBG) menyeru agar gerakan besar-besaran dilaksanakan bagi menangani isu buli, gangguan emosi serta kesihatan mental di sekolah yang semakin membimbangkan sejak kebelakangan ini.Yang Dipertua PIBG Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Jati Ipoh, Mohamad Halim Arafullah berkata, peningkatan kes buli, penderaan emosi dan masalah mental dalam kalangan pelajar hingga ada yang membawa kepada kejadian bunuh serta rogol perlu diberi perhatian serius oleh semua pihak.Menurutnya, sudah tiba masanya pihak sekolah, PIBG dan agensi kerajaan berganding bahu melaksanakan kempen berskala besar secara bersepadu bagi memulihkan suasana persekitaran sekolah agar kembali selamat dan kondusif untuk pelajar."Sekolah sepatutnya menjadi tempat membina masa depan anak-anak, bukannya lokasi yang menakutkan. Kita tidak boleh lagi menunggu tragedi baharu berlaku sebelum bertindak."Sudah tiba masanya untuk kita bergerak bersama di antara ibu bapa, guru, masyarakat dan pihak berkuasa demi menyelamatkan generasi masa depan," katanya dalam kenyataan kepada Sinar Harian pada Selasa.Mohamad Halim mencadangkan beberapa langkah utama antaranya penganjuran kempen anti-buli dan kesihatan mental secara menyeluruh melibatkan pelajar, guru dan ibu bapa melalui ceramah kesedaran, bengkel interaktif serta program intervensi awal.Katanya, tumpuan perlu diberikan kepada isu buli fizikal, siber dan seksual bawah umur yang semakin meruncing, selain aspek kesihatan mental remaja.Selain itu, beliau menekankan keperluan mengaktifkan semula peranan Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya (PRS) di sekolah bagi membantu mengesan tanda-tanda tekanan emosi dan kemurungan dalam kalangan pelajar."PRS boleh menjadi rakan sokongan awal sebelum pelajar dirujuk kepada guru kaunseling atau pakar psikologi."Mereka juga perlu diberikan latihan supaya lebih bersedia menghadapi pelajar yang berdepan tekanan," katanya yang juga Yang Dipertua PIBG SK Tasik Damai Ipoh.Mohamad Halim turut menggesa PIBG memainkan peranan lebih proaktif dengan menganjurkan ceramah keibubapaan secara bersemuka atau dalam talian supaya ibu bapa memahami tanda-tanda awal tekanan mental anak-anak dan cara menanganinya dengan empati."Penglibatan tokoh masyarakat, ustaz, pegawai kesihatan dan pakar psikologi dalam program seperti ini dapat memperkukuh kefahaman dan tindakan komuniti terhadap isu berkenaan."Ia juga membantu ibu bapa mengenali perubahan tingkah laku anak lebih awal," jelasnya lagi.Beliau turut mencadangkan pemasangan kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) di kawasan strategik seperti tandas, koridor belakang, tangga dan parkir sekolah bagi mencegah kejadian buli serta membantu mengenal pasti pelaku jika insiden berlaku.Menurutnya, hanya melalui gerakan menyeluruh yang disertai ibu bapa, guru, masyarakat dan agensi kerajaan, budaya buli serta masalah kesihatan mental dalam kalangan pelajar dapat ditangani secara tuntas dan berkesan.

JURULATIH perseorangan lelaki negara, K Yogendran percaya Leong Jun Hao kini berada di fasa kematangan terbaik dalam kariernya menjelang saingan Terbuka Denmark Super 750 di Fyn Arena Odense, Denmark.Pemain perseorangan negara itu dijangka berdepan ujian getir apabila diundi menentang pemain dari China, Li Shi Feng pada pusingan pertama lawan yang pernah menewaskannya tujuh kali dalam lapan pertemuan terdahulu.Bagaimanapun, Yogendran optimis Jun Hao mampu menampilkan persembahan bertenaga seperti yang ditunjukkan sebelum ini, termasuk ketika menewaskan Shi Feng pada pusingan pertama Terbuka India Super 750 awal tahun ini."Rekod pertemuan memang tidak memihak kepada Jun Hao, tetapi kita tahu dia biasanya bermain baik pada perlawanan pertama."Kemenangan di Terbuka India membuktikan dia boleh menewaskan Shi Feng jika fokus dan tenang. Menang kalah itu nombor dua yang penting kini, saya lihat dia semakin matang dan konsisten di gelanggang," kata Yogendran.Sejak menggantikan Lee Zii Jia sebagai perseorangan nombor satu negara pada Jun lalu, Jun Hao mengakui berdepan tekanan tinggi sesuatu yang turut diakui Yogendran sedikit menjejaskan prestasi anak didiknya pada awalnya."Ya, dia ada rasa tertekan bila mula-mula menjadi pemain nombor satu negara. Minggu pertama itu jelas, dia cepat marah dan meletakkan harapan tinggi pada diri sendiri."Tapi sekarang dia sudah lebih stabil dan sudah tahu apa yang mahu dicapai. Sasaran kami untuk bantu di menembusi kelompok 16 terbaik dunia selepas ini."Dia sudah tahu hala tuju. Sekarang bukan sekadar soal keputusan menang atau kalah, tetapi bagaimana dia mengekalkan konsistensi. Itu tanda kematangan," katanya.Yogendran turut melihat peningkatan dalam permainan Jun Hao dalam tiga siri jelajah termasuk ketika menewaskan Zii Jia kali pertama dalam empat pertemuan di suku akhir Terbuka Hong Kong."Perkembangannya sangat positif. Dia semakin sedar di mana kelemahan dan sudah belajar cara mengurus tekanan. Minggu ini saya boleh kata, dia berlatih dalam keadaan paling baik sejak beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini. Kualiti latihannya sangat bagus, dia akan tampil lebih mantap," katanya.
