Chinese Ships Dock at California Port in Lockstep as U.S.-China Trade Truce Begins - Caixin Global

Four massive container ships operated by China’s state-owned COSCO Shipping Holdings Co. Ltd. arrived in lockstep at the Port of Long Beach in Southern California in the early hours of Monday, symbolizing a tentative easing of tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
The coordinated docking, led by the vessel Xin Ya Zhou at 3 a.m. local time, followed days of deliberate idling offshore by the fleet — including CSCL South China Sea, CSCL East China Sea and COSCO Orchid. The ships had lingered between one and four days, awaiting relief from costly port fees that were lifted only hours earlier.
