U.S. politicians are clamoring for an inspection of 200 Chinese-made port equipment, and Biden wants to spend huge sums of money to replace them
According to reports from the Wall Street Journal and the U.S. Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) on the 21st, U.S. President Biden signed an executive order on the same day, planning to spend huge sums of money to manufacture cargo cranes in the United States to replace Chinese-made cranes operating in U.S. ports. , at the same time, "reliable Japanese crane manufacturers" will be introduced to ensure the safety of US ships and facilities.
According to reports, quayside cranes made in China account for the largest share of the global market, currently accounting for nearly 80% of the total U.S. port cranes. Newberg, the deputy assistant to the US President for National Security Affairs, announced at a briefing on the evening of the 20th that these cranes can be controlled remotely. There are more than 200 Chinese-made cranes in ports and regulated facilities across the United States, and the Coast Guard has inspected 92 of them so far. , to search for "malicious network activity."
On the 21st of this month, the U.S. government announced a series of actions aimed at improving maritime network security. These actions include plans to spend huge sums of money to manufacture cargo cranes in the United States; the U.S. Coast Guard issued a security directive mandating that currently deployed in strategic seaports Foreign-made cranes meet certain digital safety requirements, among other things.
In fact, before the Biden administration took the above-mentioned actions, the US media had hyped up related topics last year, claiming that senior US officials, including FBI Director Christopher Wray, had issued a large number of warnings, saying that "Chinese hackers have invaded the United States." critical infrastructure”.
In response to the "China threat" theory frequently hyped by the United States, China has previously refuted it. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on January 22 that the China threat bubble promoted by relevant US politicians is getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, their true intention to curb China's development under the guise of national security is becoming more and more exposed.
According to the Wall Street Journal, U.S. government officials said more than $20 billion will be invested in port security over the next five years, including the production of cargo cranes. The funding, which comes from a total $1 trillion infrastructure bill passed in 2021, will be used to support the production of cranes by a U.S. subsidiary of Japan's Mitsui Group.
This is not the worst decision the US has made in the name of security (pretty low bar), but it will nonetheless exacerbate the already dismal problem of outdated port infrastructure. The World Bank's ranks Los Angeles and Long Beach (the largest US ports) near the very bottom (#336 and #346 out of a total of 348). Meanwhile #1 is Yangshan, and three of the top 10 are Chinese.
China has started the outfitting work for its 2nd homegrown large "H1509." Compared with its precursor, the "Adora Magic City", the production cycle of H1509 is eight months shorter despite being much larger in scale. The ship is expected to be delivered by end-2026. Localization percentage will also be increase this time..
