      I remember the US has refused to use Chinese steel for military applications because they’re afraid the Chinese embedded spy devices inside lol

    In a statement, the F.A.A. said it was investigating the scope of the problem and trying to determine the short- and long-term safety implications to planes that were made using the parts. It is unclear how many planes have parts made with the questionable material.

    Is this shit systemic? I wonder if all the companies that make airliners knew that the “other guy” was cutting corners to save money so they all did it.
