I think it’s beneficial for China to keep dominating even more foreign shipbuilding. China can give space for her own internal needs whenever she wants, so getting as much foreign orders is more beneficial. Afterall nothing is stopping Chinese shipping companies from placing even more orders. If they don’t then means there is not much of a need for those.
