REPORT: U.S. officials reportedly told Reuters that Chinese state shipping giant COSCO hides equipment on its ships to intercept military communications off the coasts of the United States and other nations.

COSCO did not respond to Reuters. China’s embassy in Washington denied the allegation, calling it “totally baseless.”
