The Chinese Dragon In Indian Ports

Dear Reader,

In October 2023, the Chinese vessel Zhen Hua 15 offloaded a special cargo at Vizhinjam and Mundra ports.

Without the equipment that was unloaded, the very operation of Mundra and Vizhinjam ports could come to a standstill.

What's more? Not just Vizhinjam and Mundra - nearly all Indian ports have sourced this equipment from exactly one Chinese company: ZPMC.

Do read Amit Mishra's story about the Chinese monopoly that can hold Indian cargo movement hostage.
