I’m afraid you misunderstood what I was concerned about. It was not so much that certain parts might be used to compromise our systems. (Yes that can happen believe me I know how much “testing” tends to “miss”.)
What concerned me was an interruption of spare parts needed to wage war. If domestic industry can’t provide the parts in the quality and design required your talking about an interruption in a supply chain that poses a military threat.
Well, that has absolutely nothing to do with boycotting any parts with chinese content.
It depends on what you consider "parts."
Is a military GPS plug-in radio a "part" or are the chips in them the "parts" you're talking about?
The fact is, when a war heats up in the pacific, the entire global electronics and industrial economy will come to a halt.
Because every single TV, computer, phone whatever whatever has parts from singapore, taiwan, japan, germany, china, USA, etc.
One chip goes unavailable and the whole system can't be built.
So when that happens, the military damn well better have appropriate "spare systems" available for the necessary duration, that's true. But it won't matter if the spare systems have chinese components in them.
