So why not just push for subsidies since that is the entirety of the argument you just made? Does China have it's own version of the Jones Act? Since China is the 'model of success' as the largest ship builder, do they allow foreign ships and foreign crews?

America's shipbuilding industry is a husk of its former self and every effort must be made to revitalize it. Subsidies alone would be a half measure. China does not have its own version of the Jones act, it's a uniquely American problem. Most countries aren't stupid enough to kill their internal industry.
