US blocks Chinese device at Algeciras port
Spanish reports indicate that the United States have hindered the modernization project of the container inspection system at the Algeciras port after refusing to approve a Chinese radiation scanning device specialized in detecting drugs and weapons. They consider that the security of goods destined for American ports cannot rely on Chinese technology, given the geopolitical competition with Beijing. The project has been stalled for over five months following damage to the main device in February, with repair efforts hampered by the insurance company's refusal to cover the costs. Spanish authorities had launched a €6.7 million project to purchase a new device, but a Chinese company topped the bids, leading to a U.S. refusal to fund it, emphasizing that reliance on Chinese technology is unacceptable for American cargo monitoring due to strategic rivalry between the two countries.
