The US has a problem with Chinese counterfeit electronic parts finding their way into US military aircraft: www.defensenews.com/article/20120521/DEFREG02/305210016/Chinese-Counterfeit-Electronics-8216-Flood-8217-U-S-Military-Aircraft-Senate-Report?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

Makes me wonder how many of these parts have found their way onto RNZAF aircraft and onto our civilian aircraft like Air NZ Boeing 737s & Airbus A320s etc.
