Basically Chinese selling the US refurbed/old/defective/malicious parts for use in weapons/defence systems.
Quite worrying tbh.

tbf, it says they were refurbished parts. Boeing probably saw them as the cheapest and went for them, no conspiracy.

Is that website American?
Any proof to back up the claims?

Probably, I just reposted it.
There are loads of other sites reporting this exact story, Carl Levin brought it up yesterday.
There are various other stories of hardware level back doors on chips coming out of China though.

I reckon Hitler or Bin Laden has something to do with this. Also something to do with Moon cheese.

I would genuinely like one of the conspiracy nuts from the other threads to give their view on it.

Been happening for ages but in everything else, when I use to work in networking (Cisco) you would hear about 'grey' boxes being sold and would just halt working after x amount of days/weeks, with no warranty what so ever. Apparently the units were being made in the same factories as the real Cisco gear.

There's a lot of grey stuff going about, I wouldn't have thought the American Defence industry would be able to be conned that easily.
There was a big thing about flash memory a couple of years back, was it the guy that made the chumby?
The memory chips were made on the same fab lines as the real stuff but was from failed components and no quality control etc.
Almost impossible to tell the difference by looking at them.

This is the Americans we are talking about here, I mean if they were stupid enough to think we would believe 9/11 was caused by terrorists of course they will be stupid enough to let dodgy chinky chips get into their planes and stuff.

WW3 between china and the yanks over fake aeroplane trollies is a possibility.
