“If the incident’s economic consequences are insignificant, then there are indeed geopolitical aftermaths.

Based on the official view from Beijing, the Philippines has no reason to worry about Chinese fishing boats sitting along a disputed reef in the South China Sea. The vessels — initially numbering in the hundreds — were simply “taking shelter from the wind” and the Philippines should view the situation in a “rational light,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on March 22 when the news first broke. https://gcaptain.com/china-tests-biden-administration-in-south-china-sea/

9. Suez Canal Must Upgrade Quickly To Avoid Future Disruption – Shipping Sources
Egypt’s Suez Canal must move quickly to upgrade its technical infrastructure if it is to avoid future shipping disruption, shipping industry sources said, as the major trade route tries to bounce back from a costly six-day closure. International supply chains were thrown into disarray on March 23 when the 400-metre-long (430-yard) container ship Ever Given ran aground in the canal, with specialist rescue teams taking almost a week to free her after extensive dredging and repeated tugging operations. https://www.shippingtribune.com/news/shipping/Suez+Canal+must+upgrade+quickly+to+avoid+future+disruption+–+shipping+sources

10. Analysis – Power Play: India Wields Oil ‘Weapon’ To Cut Dependence On Saudi
When India’s government last month asked refiners to speed up diversification and reduce dependence on the Middle East – days after OPEC+ said it would maintain production cuts – it sent a message about its clout and foreshadowed changes to the world’s energy maps. It was a move that had been in the works for years, fuelled by repeated comments from Indian Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who in 2015 called oil purchases a “weapon” for his country.
