For example, the White House has agreed to allow Boeing to transfer two 737-800 aircraft to China that contain the QRS11 computer chip in their navigation systems. The chip has the potential to be used for military applications, such as in missile guidance systems. The chip is on the restricted Munitions List and should require an export license, but the State Department has given Boeing a pass.

Boeing does it again. We justifiably take Clinton to task for sharing missile technology with China, but of course it wasn't Clinton himself who shared the technology; it was Boeing. Now the current administration is doing the same thing as the last one did - allowing Boeing to export criticial technologies which could be used in weapons. I guess it's business as usual.

Maybe China already has the technology from our surveilence plane that they held hostage.
