Seems like I've been reading about counterfeit parts made in China for about 30 years now.

I’ve seen TV shows from the 1990s about this very thing. One show had the counterfeit parts problem so bad that it even effected Air Force One.
60 Minutes had an anonymous drug dealer on of of their pieces. He said that he was getting out of the drug business and moving into the fake aircraft parts con as there was more money in it.
