    U.S. scrutiny of crane communications and remote access

    U.S. officials and congressional investigators examined whether communications devices found in some ZPMC cranes were necessary for normal operations and whether ZPMC pressured port operators to permit remote access. The inquiry formed part of a broader debate over port cybersecurity and China-related national-security risks.

    Reported intelligence-gathering equipment on Baltimore crane shipment

    FBI agents reportedly believed that intelligence-gathering equipment had been discovered on a cargo ship delivering ZPMC cranes to the Port of Baltimore. The report contributed to later U.S. scrutiny of ZPMC equipment, while Chinese authorities rejected the allegation as paranoid.
