Apparently China is the biggest supplier of counterfeit parts but sorry to say that Canada and the UK also make the list!

QuoteVast numbers of counterfeit Chinese electronic parts are being used in US military equipment, a key Senate committee has reported.

I am shocked, shocked that the Chinese, who poison our dog food and children's toys, shamelessly steal our IP to counterfeit everything from DVDs to rat poop, and manage to sell human cannibal pills as a hobby also have managed to counterfeit defective repair parts for the US military.

I never would have thought they'd do that.

That our government is stupid enough to buy them? Yes, that would make sense.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I can see us now in a war with China and it goes down like Battlestar Galactica. They flip a switch and everything on our side shuts down.
