The US media hyped that Chinese cranes "threaten the security of the United States", but China refuted it: nonsense. Chinese heavy equipment manufacturing company Zhenhua Heavy Industries responded on the 9th that the cranes provided by the company will not pose a cybersecurity risk to any port.
U.S. congressional aides said that cranes produced in China are equipped with advanced sensors that can record and track the origin and destination of containers. US media speculated that this means that China "can obtain the US military's transportation intelligence and military operations"
