The 195-meter ship, constructed by Shanghai's renowned Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC), is designed to meet the growing demand for large-scale wind turbine installation in deep-sea environments, as well as the construction of offshore oil platforms and cross-sea bridges.[...]"

Chinese shipbuilders scored significant gains in orders and market share in 2024, but rising geopolitical tension, particularly with the US, has complicated their prospects

Their prospects aren't complicated. Americans have very little choices to harm the Chinese shipbuilding. China is the world's biggest shipbuilder, shipowner, has the world's some of the biggest maritime transportation companies, and has the most active ports. There is a lot of cards they can play, especially against American attempts to revitalize their shipbuilding.
The only vulnerability I can think of is the engine IP. A lot of the engine production in China uses European IP because the said corporations' investments into China over the years. But you know, using the state power is a two way street. Production and engineering facilities are mostly in China.

In addition to receiving upgraded batteries, Jiaolong is also getting a more efficient electric propulsion system, an new hydraulic system, as well as other subsystem upgrades such as new video transmitters and an automated fault diagnostic system. She will undergo sea trials next month.
