"while the Berry Amendment, which is for defense contracts only, is not limited to contracts within the U.S." Excerpted from http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL31236.pdf page 10 of 21.

It only gives preference to domestic firms that's it.

Great, you Googled Berry Amendment and found that. Now read the actual amendment and see the process to get a waiver. Sure subcomponents can come from overseas but that constitutes very little of the actual amount of the defense spending pie.

Now, like I asked, please supply said examples of "most of the defense hardware" that is now coming from overseas, especially China.
