WASHINGTON – A Chinese company installed intelligence gathering equipment on cranes used at seaports across the US that could allow Beijing to spy on Americans and cripple key infrastructure, according to a new congressional report.
The Republican majorities on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and House Homeland Security Committee found that the Shanghai-based, state-owned ZPMC engineering company had pressured American port authorities to allow remote access to its cranes, “with a particular focus on those located on the West Coast.”
“If granted, this access could potentially be extended to other [People’s Republican of China] government entities, posing a significant risk due to the PRC’s national security laws that mandate cooperation with state intelligence agencies,” adds the report, the outcome of a yearlong investigation.
The devices found attached to the cranes include cellular modems that were “not requested by US ports or included in contracts … [and] constitute a significant backdoor security vulnerability that undermines the integrity of port operations,” the report said.

Why do we fear commies spying on us when commies run our country.
I don’t know which is worse, Commies or Democrats??
Duh me, DEMOCRATS are COMMIES!!!!!
This was overseen by Angela Chao.
Mitch McConnell’s sister in law, who recently somehow drove her Tesla backward over obstacles in to a pond and drowned.
China operates our ports.
China buying our farmland.
China sending intel balloons over our country.
All because of 10% for the Big Guy.
Chinese spies working for our top government officials.
Chinese surveillance balloons traversing our country.
Chinese intelligence gathering equipment on cranes used at seaports.
They probably know more about us than the Pentagon does.
Zapping those monitors with Lasers should handle this issue with ease.
We could set up a bounty for each instrument that is zapped.
Senate Democrats reply, “ Its okay, they work for/with us.”
The threat from internal communists doesn’t erase the threat from foreign communists.
The chicoms are simply using spying techniques, not just on port cranes, that are similar to the techniques that the japs used against the U.S. in the 1930s and 1940s...
The results will, eventually, be the same...
After all, the chicoms engineered and got away with the sneak virus attack that essentially destroyed the economy and what few freedoms & liberties remained in the U.S.
Communism is “rolling... rolling... rolling...
“ The threat from internal communists doesn’t erase the threat from foreign communists.”
True.
And, I think right brother is the former.
Your post is rubbish, but I wouldn’t expect anything else. You are a typical zeeper creeper.
China owns most of the seaports in the U.S. it’s not like nobody knew what was going on duh.
I’ll take that as confirmation.
Thanks for your honesty, comrade.
Success story for the Chicoms, that is.
Which US politician agreed to this?
Was it Mitch McConnell or too many others?
