Richard Clarke: All U.S. Electronics From China Could Be Infected

GAO Buys Fake Submarine Parts From China

So, they just went bought weapon parts from random companies on the internet? And you mean they weren't legit? hahaha. Please tell me our government is not this stupid.

I can't tell you that.

In any event, they intentionally selected Chinese suppliers (sole source?):

Well, as part of the committee’s investigation into the problem, lawmakers asked the Government Accountability Office to buy weapons parts from Chinese companies (that U.S. weapons companies sometimes buy from) to see if the Chinese government is doing anything to crack down on the massive problem.

With IC transistor counts well over a billion,

sorting the "good" chips from the "bad" should be a cinch, with the US having so many more engineers and technicians than China.

Desperately seeking math and science majors

This spring the U.S. will graduate about 8,000 Ph.D. engineers, an estimated two-thirds of whom are not U.S. citizens. About 150,000 students who majored in engineering, computer science, information technology, and math will collect bachelor's degrees. The Chinese government claims that in recent years the number in China has been well north of 500,000 and rising fast; even if overstated, as some believe, the real number is much larger than America's, and the quality of those graduates is improving.

We have trained our conquerors. Now they are able to train themselves.

I had nothing to do with it. I would have kept all critical products in-country.

Just plain common sense. But that's been trumped by profits (short term).

I would also charge the perps with treason most foul, if I were King.

I know, you meant 'you' plurally, collectively.
Specifically, those shadowy figures who decide such things, for the 'good' of the US 'Collective'.
