Unfortunately, this is not an April Fools’ joke. The U.S. House Select Committee on the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) announced on April 1 that Chinese-owned firms make 80% of U.S. ports’ cargo cranes. The CCP also controls about 90% of the world’s rare earth processing — and rare earths are essential to all the electronic devices and chips upon which we depend. That’s a lot of control the CCP has over the American economy as it becomes ever more hostile to America.
Chinese-owned firms make 80% of cargo cranes at American ports. On Friday, Chairman @RepGallagher and @RepCarlos explored this threat first-hand.

Select Committee on the CCP Chairman Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) explained from Port Miami, “The threat posed by the CCP is not over there, it’s right here at home. It’s right in our ports. It gives them the ability to disrupt our entire domestic economy. So it’s time to wake up, and it’s time to rid oursel[ves] of our dependence on the Chinese Communist Party.”
According to a March 31 press release from Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), he and Gallagher visited two South Florida locations “to learn more about Chinese Communist Party influence and operations” not only in the U.S. but in Latin America. The two congressmen first toured Miami’s port to learn about infrastructure security and how Chinese-made infrastructure could potentially be exploited by the CCP for spying or stopping the flow of goods and “military assets.”

you might be interested to know how many of our ports are owned/controlled by foreign countries.

This ONLY matters if we start a war with them...hmmm, I guess it does matter, since the Neocons are in power.
better be nice to our new lords and masters
Anyone could have seen this since the 1990’s but palms were greased and eyes were turned the other way since U.S. politicians and corporations had dollar signs in their eyes. National security and economic concerns took a backseat and this is where we are today.
China’s economic miracle was designed to play the role of counter weight to Russia by the deep state Neocons. Didn’t work out that way, eh Mr. Neocon.
this Chinese train can go at staggering 800 km/h. .... uses superconducting technology that works at higher temperatures.
......Meanwhile in America
On a related note...
Wonder what the status of the sale of Ports America is?
Thanks free traitors.
“this Chinese train can go at staggering 800 km/h.”
Now, now, now. According the Ukraine Cheerleaders here, we’re supposed to stick our heads in the ground, TOTALLY IGNORE CHINA (or, if forced, simply state that they’re just a country of peasants walking their rice fields), stick an American Flag in front of our house, and then stand at attention when a Drag Queen Band plays the National Anthem.
Why? Because we’re the BEST, and therefore UNTOUCHABLE, that’s why!
When you got lemons you make lemonade.
IOW EV’s aren’t happening and imports just got squashed when crane failures aren’t replaced and ships cannot be unloaded.
Fire up the US foundries.
Heck, cell phones might even disappear.
IOW, look inward. Hot diggity dawg the 50s are back!
