Partnership with Chinese Shipping Platform

She also introduced legislation that would require the Department of Transportation and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to create an alternative to the Chinese government-run platform, which is called LOGINK.“For 16 years, the Chinese Communist Party has used LOGINK as an inside informant on the movements and cargo of commercial ships and the holes in our supply chain in order to gain a competitive foothold in global trade,” Steel told National Review in a statement. The California lawmaker is a member of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition with the Chinese Communist Party and has previously introduced legislation to address LOGINK’s growing prevalence among port operators.
