U.S. officials accuse COSCO of hidden spying equipment as China denies claims — 5dU.S. officials allege that COSCO uses concealed, sophisticated signals-intelligence equipment on its merchant ships to monitor military communications, encryption developments, and key maritime routes across Europe, North America, and Asia, citing a decades-long Beijing partnership. China and COSCO deny the spying claims, while the allegations surface as Washington discusses security and trade with Beijing ahead of a Trump-Xi summit and amid Pentagon listings tying COSCO to China’s military.

Sam Okafor If COSCO ships are docking at our ports for decades, basic due diligence should've caught this way earlier than now.

The pills, appearing in multiple colors with Trump’s image and NL/Trump markings, were detected by the Drugs Information and Monitoring System across the country, with no deaths reported at the time of the warning.
