“A microchip used by the US military and manufactured in China “
Gee, what could go wrong?
HUAWEI Don’t trust ANYTHING with HUAWEI chips in it!

Australia has banned Chinese technology giant Huawei Technologies Ltd. from bidding to ... to expand in the United States might aid Chinese electronic spying.
No kidding...that’s such a surprise. The Chinese using an OPEN opportunity to spy on us. Who could have seen that coming?
This administration has the intelligence of an amoeba. That’s ONE amoeba.
Kinda like what happens in this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G4PUAK/ref=docs-os-doi_0
“At exactly midnight on December 31, every electronic device made in China for the last 30 years stops working.
From the U.S. electrical grid and all its back-ups, engine control-management systems, early warning systems on U.S. satellites, every motor vehicle, aircraft and ship made after 1985, to even simple memory chips inside children’s teddy bears—every electronic fuse, resistor, or connector that was “Made in China” becomes dormant… forever.
At one minute past midnight on January 1st, every modern television broadcast of the U.S. New Year’s Eve festivities on the East Coast black-out. Millions of motor vehicles with an engine management system or engine-computerized system suddenly die, causing loss of control and thousands of accidents only seconds into the New Year. Traffic lights, directional beacons, communication stations, and all aircraft landing systems black out a couple of minutes later, as their modern back-ups start failing. Children’s Christmas presents, nearly forgotten, stop buzzing, moving, and blinking and go silent. Radios, computers, and all forms of electronic communication devices—even the latest 132 million electronic Christmas presents given only a week earlier (iPhone 5Gs, IPod Nano 4s, IMac Notepads and iPad 3s) go silent, never to blink on again. Ninety seconds after midnight, the entire electrical grid of North America deactivates itself and goes into close-down mode.
The shutdown of the United States of America, and 97% of the entire world, is accomplished by 12:30 am U.S. Eastern time on the first day of the New Year.”
Uh, we could use some serious transparency here.
Nothing effective will be done. China will be allowed to get away with most anything and not only because they buy our government’s debt. It’s the inherent stupidity and utopian nonsense associated with globalism that has short-circuited the brains of all too many Westerners. Little short of a mass launching of ICBMs by China would open the eyes of most of them. And that wouldn’t open the eyes of all of them.

Must of been some of them there chips in that there drone that landed on an Iranian airfield.
Leon Pinetta must have a heck of a lot of money stored away in Swiss, er, Chinese, er American sold to the Chinese, bank accounts.
Seriously, anybody who does not believe we are so screwed when China and Russia decide it's time to take our rescources, raise their hand...or text with their Iphone...
The Nazi’s tried slave labor during WW II and hte results were not good for them.
For the US to allow anyone outside of America to make critical military equipment is either deliberate treaon or terminal stupidity.
My suggestion: Defund welfare for urban sluts, urban feralsa, ad nauseam. Spend the encessary money to keep our military #1 - that means making the weapons here and without any foreigners in the factories or the entire supply train.
Wanna bet the Muslims and Messicans are already planning and stealing weapons, and worse?
Wanna bet your children’s freedom?
Shocked I tell you!
Huh, well that’s weird! Why would China ever want to steal our military technology? DOH
How long seriously have we been purchasing military technology from China? Where is a rocket scientist when you need one!
I will hold my outrage until this backdoor is verified by a 3rd party who isn’t trying to shakedown the Gov’t for reaearch funds, and peddling their security software.
That said, it is really stupid for this country to buy military mission critical parts from China.
Loral? Chinese general's daughter giving money directly to clinton campaign? Chinese spies giving money to clinton? Johnny Chung? Missing computer chip from failed rocket launch?
Been there, done that. No one cares. Just make sure I can get cheap stuff at Walmart.
Our Pentagon and military contractors: Dumb and Dumber
Eventually we’ll go back to making our own stuff...after the whole mess collapses/goes to war and the survivors are left with no choice.
In a thousand years or so, once they’ve reached the 2nd bronze age, perhaps our descendants will be smarter than we were.
Time to take another look at the F-22’s problem and God knows what else wrong with our military equipment.
The must be making this up! Oh this really can’t happen!
There is no damned excuse for this level of dependence on foreign and very possibly hostile nations.
