RECENTLY, some American politicians have one more concern. They worried that giant Chinese-made cranes operating at American ports could become hidden spying tools for China. This absurd claim, which fits the narrative style of American science fiction movies, is not only baseless but also typical of paranoid thinking. It's unbelievable that the US, as a superpower, could be scared by cranes at ports and imagine them as spying tools.

From Huawei to TikTok, from balloons to cranes, American politicians' hysteria over so-called national security is becoming increasingly perverse. Observers suggest that if American politicians are really so afraid of "Made in China," they should take off all their clothes and run naked together. After all, the clothes that many Americans wear, even if not made in China, are made of fabrics provided by China or manufactured with equipment from China.
