Container ships from Shanghai to the United States are once again facing a situation of "space in high demand," with orders scheduled out to June. Faced with a surge in demand from American businesses, Shanghai's ports, freight forwarders, and foreign trade companies remain calm and composed. Their confidence stems from the competitiveness of "Made in China" in the global supply chain, allowing Shanghai businesses to focus on doing their own work well.

In response to the surging demand, Shanghai's port operations are running efficiently. Yang Yanbin, Deputy General Manager of Production Business Department at Shanghai Port Group, stated that for the week of May 19th to 25th, the export container volume on the Shanghai-US route reached 59,000 TEUs, representing a 49.4% increase compared to the previous period. Currently, all suspended sailings on the US route have been resumed, and the weekly sailings on the Shanghai-US route have returned to the normal level of 42 sailings.

He mentioned that temporary capacity adjustments led to some confusion in vessel schedules, with terminal operations highly concentrated at certain times. However, they have developed contingency plans to ensure timely operations and shipments upon vessel arrival, and they will coordinate promptly with shipping companies for additional sailings.

The irreplaceability of "Made in China" lies not only in price advantages but also in technological innovation, stable quality, mature supply chains, and the trust formed through long-term cooperation. These factors are crucial support for Chinese enterprises to navigate through economic cycles and withstand risks.

Of course, seizing the opportunity presented by this "buying frenzy" is also essential. Alibaba's international platform has found that many American buyers are looking to stock up as much as possible within 90 days, some even preparing for the Christmas season. As a result, Alibaba is preparing to launch a "Global Trade 618" event tailored for the US market to help Chinese foreign trade companies sell out their inventory over the next three months.

Data indicates that clothing and accessories, jewelry, eyewear, watches, beauty products, home and garden supplies, packaging and printing, consumer electronics, sports and entertainment, maternity and baby toys, gifts and crafts, and luggage are among the top ten categories. In terms of growth, automotive parts have increased by 62%, machinery and equipment by 46%, and 3C new energy products by 42%.

With increasing trust from global consumers in "Made in China," it is foreseeable that the bustling activity at the Port of Shanghai will continue for some time.
