Dynamics Competition Strategy among Container Ports Groups in Mainland China Based on Data Mining Enterprise Board
This paper unveils the competitive dynamics among the major container port groups in mainland China by analyzing their extent and intensity. There are four major container port groups from north to south, including the container port groups of Bohai Bay, Yangtze, Taiwan Strait (west area) and the Pearl River. Bohai Bay container port group is comprised by the main ports of Dalian, Qingdao and Tianjin. Yangtze container port group consists of two main ports of Shanghai and Ningbo. Taiwan Strait (west area) container port group contains the main ports of Ximen and Fuzhou. The Pearl River container port group includes the main ports of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Time series data on container throughput for the ports and port groups are computed. Cointegration tests are employed to determine the existence of long run relationship among port pairs, port group itself and port group pairs. Error correction models are constructed to determine short run port and port groups dynamics. The results reveal that Bohai Bay and the Pearl River port groups have their own longterm relationship; however, both Yangtze and container port groups have not their own long-term relationship. Yangtze container port group is beneficiary from main port groups competition in the region. The study suggests that between close groups have no cointegration relationship, the neighborhood have cointegration relationship and alternate groups have cointegration relationship.
