Oh I am "sure", the liberal drive by news media press, won't bite the hand that feeds them on this story hey?. This kind of wants to make you run right out and, shop at Wal Mart, then buy a cup of Starbuck's coffee on the way to, hey?. China's robust arms industry has been able to duplicate U.S.-made, armor-piercing rounds, and the bullets are being found with the enemy in Afghanistan and Iraq, the sniper ammunition is sending alarm bells through the Pentagon as it hurries to keep pace by producing improved body armor for soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors. Chinese munitions are not thought capable of defeating the super-hard ceramic plates that now protect service members against smalls-arms fire, including armor-piercing bullets. But there are intelligence reports that China is using the copycat bullets to spring board to an even better armor-defeating rifle round that would be able to kill protected personnel. Some military officials assume the rounds find their way to Afghanistan and Iraq through the international black market, a ready source for a wide variety of Chinese-made weapons and ammunition.

Would Obama stop this type of action with China to?. I dought it.
