Some Chinese-made cranes used at US ports contain communications equipment with no clear purpose or record of their installation, according to a new congressional investigation that will heighten US concerns that the cranes could be used for surveillance or sabotage.
The investigation by the House Committee on Homeland Security and House select committee on China focused on the more than 200 Chinese-made cranes installed at US ports and related facilities. It comes amid heightened US-China tensions over national security and as the Coast Guard last month ordered the ports to better secure the Chinese-made cranes.
House lawmakers found that the equipment installed on the cranes — cellular modems that can be used for remote communication — were not documented in any contract between US ports and Chinese crane maker ZPMC, a congressional aide familiar with the investigation told CNN. When US port personnel went to China to inspect the cranes, the modems were already installed, the aide said.

Our government is subjugated.
The gear is there with full knowledge and approval by the Biden administration.
And to think there were many Freepers who supported MFN for China. Nice going, free traitors.
Probably, yes.
Thanks to the free traitors, the Chicoms are using our consumer dollars to subjugate our government.
Our ‘intelligence’ thugs are too busy doing important things like finding white men in their 20’s to say something stupid so they can prop up the delusions of white liberal ‘elites’ in DC. They don’t have time to deal with real threats like those from China and Iran.

Considering who controls Ports America, that’s a laffer.
“...first strike for the Chinese...”
China owns six major ports in the US from coast to coast and is the controller, with Russia, of every shipping company except Maersk, which is Canadian owned.
The first strike has already started. We still have hundreds of ships off the west coast still waiting to port. Supply line destruction with the slowdown.
