And all those folks on here who don’t see a problem with critical materials being made in other countries..

Our military isnt the only target. Corporate secrets are also high on the list.

Yes. As far as I am concerned, there should never be any foreign bidding on contracts to fill our military needs.

If we cannot make a given component, we should find ways to remedy that.

Am I being protectionist? Yes. When it comes to the Military. I understand we should have the best for our military personnel, but I believe we can find ways to do that without having to give our adversaries unfettered access to our technology.

Just my opinion.

Corporate secrets are also high on the list.

But it's the corporates that are giving their secrets to China. A bottom line increase in a quarter is seen as more important than any of those silly trade secrets.
