I never said we were dependent on China. I said that some counterfit parts from China have managed to get into the supply chain.
When I was a submariner in the 1980’s. We would always hear rumors about the Soviets trying to sabotage us with counterfit parts. The rumors were not true. There were never any Soviet parts in our boats.
Like I said, the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2013 is going to fix the counterfit problem.
We make about 95% of our military hardware incuding parts.
