China In Denial

China is rejecting claims it failed to prevent a flood of counterfeit parts from being installed on U.S. weapons systems. The Senate Armed Services Committee says it found 1,800 cases involving more than 1 million counterfeit parts since 2009, and it claims that's just the tip of the iceberg. Committee investigators say China was identified five times more frequently than any other other country as a source of counterfeits. China says that it is committed to fighting fake products and followed all procedures correctly.

Seems to me like defense is one area where we shouldn't be outsourcing the production line. Especially to China, King of Crap products.

Is this ridiculous or am I just a stupid Eastern Shoreman?
Why are we buying components for our military weapons systems from China?
Anyone?

China even makes our uniforms for our soldiers. Some are laced wilth insectiside to help kill the bug bites in the deserts...also tries to kill our soldiers or make them very ill.
We should make the uniforms, guns, parts etc in the USA

I'm with you 3:19. The problem is that it seems like us stupid Eastern Shoremen are a whole lot smarter than the Ivy Leauge idiots who make the important decisions.

Why would we get any parts, much less defensive parts, from a potential enemy?
