Now if the socialists in charge of our country don’t give the design to the Chicoms, we have an advantage.

I'm pretty sure it was a joint effort. The US dumps money into the R&D and we pay Chicom "consultants" to go over every inch of the project to make sure that the developers didn't violate too many environmental regulations.

Wired reports the chips weren't only low-quality fakes, they had been made with a "back-door" and could have been remotely shut down at any time. Apparently foreign chip makers are often better at making cheap microchips and U.S. defense contractors are loathe to pass up the better deal.
