Key US senators slam China on military parts probe
He noted that a 2010 report by the Government Accountability Office -- the US Congress's investigative arm -- on the issue "didn't get Chinese cooperation."
Levin said that report found that counterfeit electronics had "infiltrated" the Pentagon's supply chain, including microprocessors for the F-15 fighter jet and microcircuits for US Missile Defense Agency hardware.
Levin also pointed to a January 2010 US Commerce Department report that surveyed 400 companies that "overwhelmingly cited China" as the source for counterfeit electronics.
"It should be in China's interest not to have counterfeiting of these electronic parts going on, because it would harm legitimate Chinese companies as well," said McCain.
