I thought it was just that cargo arriving in Japan would first stop in Busan and be transferred to smaller container ships, but it’s actually common for containers originating in Japan to pass through Busan. Forty percent of Japan-to-North America export containers detour through Asian ports—centered on Busan—that are farther from their final destination. Is this a figure that should raise alarm? It’s undeniable that this is eroding Japan’s manufacturing competitiveness. https://t.co/qYu4Hky83J
