For months, the U.S. has said it's aware that counterfeit electronic parts, usually from China, posed a serious and growing problem for the U.S. military. Now the Senate Armed Services Committee is investigating the counterfeit parts problem and wants China's help, two leading senators said Tuesday.


The committee has staffers in Hong Kong trying to get into Shenzen, in Guangdong province China, where the committee believes most of the counterfeiting allegedly occurred. But the Chinese are refusing to grant the Americans visas to visit Guangdong, the senators said.


Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the top Republican on the committee, said China should want to help with the investigation. "It should be in Chinese interest not to have counterfeiting of these electronic parts going on because it would harm legitimate Chinese companies as well," McCain said at a Capitol Hill news conference Tuesday.


But even if the Chinese grant the visas, they don't want to make the investigation easy, the senators said. "The Chinese have said, 'Well, even if this could be arranged, there would have to be a Chinese official present during the interviews.' That is a nonstarter," Sen. Carl Levin. D-Michigan, said. "We do not have somebody looking at our staff while they're interviewing people who are relevant to an investigation."


Levin, the committee chairman, said these counterfeit parts are making it into some of America's most crucial weapons systems, "including counterfeit microprocessors that were purchased by the Air Force for use on the F-15 operational flight control computers." Counterfeit microcircuits have been found on Missile Defense Agency hardware, he said.

Regarding the accusation of US, Wang Baodong, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, said that the issue "involves law enforcement and China's judicial sovereignty, which should be respected."


"We've been telling the congressmen's offices that such issues are supposed to be raised through the normal channel of China-US law enforcement cooperation, and we're ready to stay in touch with the US side," Wang said.


Professor Zhang Zhaozhong, from National Defence University PLA China, said both China and U.S. are quite prudential in bilateral arm trade and both need approval from defense ministries. The counterfeit electronic parts charged by U.S. were purchased from a third party, and U.S. should go to the third party and figure out what's wrong but not China, the producer.Just like you bought one commodity from shopping mall, and it broke after days, then you should go to the mall for coordination but not directly go to the factory produced the commodity. Even the US arsenal signed contract with factory in Shenzhen, the investigation should follow a normal channel. The US doesn't have the right of asking to investigate in China against China's sovereignty. Zhang said.


Zhang also explained that one electronic part could be used on one normal vehicle as well as the "Air Force No.1," but the needs of its quality have big differences, US should blame itself for not doing well on examination at first.


The 2010 study by the Commerce Department found the problem of counterfeit parts touched nearly 40% of the Pentagon's parts supply chain, and was getting worse, "rising from 3,868 incidents in 2005 to 9,356 incidents in 2008," the study said.


The study also found that part of the problem is the way the government buys parts. "The rise of counterfeit parts in the supply chain is exacerbated by demonstrated weaknesses in inventory management, procurement procedures, record keeping, reporting practices, inspection and testing protocols, and communication within and across all industry and government organizations," the report said.


One example of the problem parts mentioned in the Commerce study was microcircuits. Over the span of the four years studied, the most common abuse was selling used microcircuits that were relabeled as higher-grade products.


Observers of US politics expect to hear more anger directed at Beijing as the 2012 US presidential election campaign heats up against the backdrop of stubbornly high unemployment often blamed here on China's economic rise. After this time, what will be the next excuse? (CNN/AFP/Global Times) 7 0
