【新唐人2011年11月10日訊】美國國會參議院軍事委員會兩位重量級議警察告說，來自中國的偽劣電子產品正在衝擊美國國防部的供應體系，威脅到美國軍隊安全和國民利益。11月8號美國參議院就此召開了聽證會。
在11月8號舉行的聽證會上，參議院軍事委員會主席，民主黨參議員卡爾•萊文（Carl Levin）說，美國政府對國防部供應體系中的387家公司進行調查後，發現近年來假冒偽劣產品的數量上升，中國是主要來源。
他表示，從今年三月展開調查以來，幾乎所有被談話的人，從國防部承包商、到半導體生產商、到電子產品供應商，都毫不例外的指出中國，特別是深圳，是偽劣電子產品的主要來源。
參議院軍事委員會的調查人員查閱了10萬多頁國防部文件和70多家企業資料，共發現1800個涉嫌案例，仿冒元件總數達到100萬個。
這些假冒偽劣電子產品被用於美軍使用的夜視設備、電腦，以及不同型號的軍用飛機，比如空軍C-17、C-130J、C-27J運輸機，以及波音公司為美國海軍製造的P-8A戰鬥機等等。
波音公司承認，有三起疑似假冒偽劣產品安裝在P-8A上的事件。他們最早在2009年發現結冰探測裝置中的一個掉落零件是舊零件改裝，調查這些零件的根源，追溯到了深圳一家工廠。
調查人員表示，1800個涉嫌案例中，超過70%的案例可追溯到中國。被稱為E－廢料的原料從香港用卡車運到中國大陸，特別是到仿冒品集中的廣東汕頭。中國的製造商將舊的電子元件從電路板上取下，打磨去掉商標和條形碼，然後這些“舊貌換新顏”的元件就會在互聯網或市場上公開出售。
萊文表示，已經查證的案例還只是冰山一角。共和黨參議員約翰•馬侃（John McCain）則表示，這些假冒電子產品既給美國軍隊帶來真正危險，也加大了武器系統的花費。不能容忍這樣的風險出現。
萊文參議員呼籲中國合作打擊假冒偽劣產品，他說，如果中共政府願意，是可以阻止這樣的仿冒行為的，他們也必須阻止這樣的行為，否則將付出高昂的代價。因為美國將對所有中國進口元件全面檢查。
中共外交部發言人洪磊8號在回答記者問時，沒有就兩位議員的指責作出具體說明，只簡單回答說，中共政府一貫重視和各國合作，打壓假冒偽劣產品。
然而萊文參議員指責，中共政府阻礙相關調查。因為之前委員會的調查人員想前往中國時被拒絕簽證，中國大使館告知他們，這是一個敏感問題，負面的調查結果將損害美中關係。但萊文參議員說，真正損害美中關係的是對假冒偽劣產品坐視不管。
除了要求中國和其他國家採取行動外，參議員萊文和馬侃還表示，將推動修正防衛法，限制仿冒電子產品進入供應鏈。

Chinese Counterfeiting Products are Entering the U.S. Military Supply Chain
U.S. senior senators of Senate Armed Services Committee
(SASC) warned that
Counterfeit electronic parts from China have ended up
in the Department of Defence (DoD) supply chain.
It poses a serious threat to national security.
A hearing was held on November 8.
On Nov.8 Carl Levin, chairman of the SASC spoke at
a hearing to 387 U.S.companies.
Surveying the DoD supply system, they found that
in recent years counterfeiting parts had increased,
making China a major threat.
Levin said that since the survey started in March this year,
almost all the interviewees,from DoD contractors
to semiconductor manufacturers, to electronic parts suppliers,
pointed out that China was the lead supplier.
With Shen Zhen believed to be the major supplier of
counterfeiting products.
The committee reviewed 100,000 pages of DoD documents,
which investigated 70 companies,
finding 1,800 suspected cases consisting of
100 million counterfeit parts.
These counterfeit chips are used on U.S. military and
Navy night vision equipment, computers and military aircraft,
such as the Air Force C-17, C-130J, C-27J cargo aircraft, and
Navy P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft made by Boeing Co.
Boeing Co. have admitted that three counterfeit chips
have been found on P-8A.
The first discovered was a problem with ice detection module
on P-8A aircraft in 2009, the failure chips were reworked.
Committee investigators traced these counterfeit parts back
to a factory in Shen Zhen, China.
Investigators said among the 1800 suspected cases,
there are more than 70% from China.
The raw material for counterfeit chips was Electronic waste,
imported from Hong Kong to mainland China by trucks.
The Main source of delivery of counterfeit production was
traced back to Shantou, Guangzhou.
Chinese manufacturers remove old components from boards.
Sanding off the marks and removing identifying numbers,
reworking them to make them look new,
then selling the components online or in the markets.
Levin stated that the case has been verified, and
is just the tip of the iceberg.
Republican Senator John McCain said that
the counterfeit parts put U.S. troops』 lives at risk.
It also increases the cost of weapons systems.
Such risks are unacceptable.
Levin said Chinese authorities must step up in its control of
counterfeit products, if China is willing to stop it, it will stop.
Otherwise, they will pay a high price. Because U.S. will
Inspect all components imported from China.
On Nov. 8, Hong Lei, spokesman for
the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
didn』t respond to the two senators』 criticism,
but simply answered that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
regime always takes care of its cooperation with other countries,
and always suppresses such counterfeit products.
Levin pointed out that the CCP have blocked
the investigation.
He said the Chinese Embassy have denied issuing visa』s
to staff members when they want to visit China to investigate.
Chinese Embassy told them, this is a “sensitive issue”,
any negative results of the investigation will damage U.S.-China relations.
But Levin said the real damage is China』s refusal to act
against counterfeiting, that is openly carried out in that country.
Senator Levin and Senator McCain also said that
they are planning an amendment to the Defence Act.
Its purpose to restrict counterfeit products entering the supply chain as well as
asking China and other countries to take action.
