House Republicans are pressuring Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over threats the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) poses to U.S. port infrastructure.

The lawmakers have demanded Mayorkas provide information on what his department and the Biden administration are doing to prevent the CCP from using the technology it develops and produces, which is used in cargo cranes and other shipping infrastructure in American seaports, to spy on and orchestrate sabotage against the United States.
