China is threatening US global dominance and the US is freaked out and very motivated to cast suspicion on anything Chinese. Remember that "spy balloon" that turned out to be a nothing burger? I wouldn't pay attention to anything so insubstantial as "fears raised". That's all they're doing - raising fear.

The US is "freaking out" because everywhere we look we find yet another Chinese back door that wasn't known about and isn't necessary. These things represent a fucking enormous security risk, especially when they are embedded in critical infrastructure...and yes cargo handing cranes are critical infrastructure.

Then you are either ignorant or a shill.

Your economy is collapsing around you. Why do you keep shilling for your failing government?

They're not shilling for the US and its "the emperor's new clothes" economy.

But what about-?

But what about "Your economy is collapsing around you"? Nice job calling out your own hypocrisy. Your lack of self-awareness is hilarious.

Believe it or not, sometimes real people actually disagree with you. It must be difficult to imagine independent thoughts that don't align with the narrative you follow, but they exist.

Believe it or not, there is no "both sides" when it comes to Chinese spy programs. They do it. They don't want it done to them. Their economy is collapsing. Their social manipulation teams are required to remain in denial while their country falls apart at the seams. They are not allowed to have independent thoughts.

The US was all too happy to ship manufacturing over to China when US corporations could exploit cheap Chinese labor for juicy profit margins, but now that China is making their own things, suddenly China is a major threat. You're exactly right, but you'll be downvoted and criticized by people sucking down western propaganda while labeling you a shill, funnily enough.

Yup 🙃

That propaganda must be tasty, they sure do gulp it down.
