A national security bill in Congress have been introduced by two US lawmakers to stop flow of e-waste to China as it regularly counterfeits electronics and puts these dangerous products back into the market.

"China regularly counterfeits electronics and puts these dangerous products, including critical military equipment, back into the market. These electronic components threaten the reliability and safety of a wide range of technology," Congressman Paul Cook alleged yesterday.

Gene Green said"The Secure E-waste Export and Recycling Act will help ensure our servicemen and women have reliable technology to protect our country and create thousands of jobs in Texas and recycling facilities around the country".

1,800 cases of counterfeit parts in military technology have been found in issue which was first identified in a Senate Armed Services Committee study.

"There is no way to predict how well they (counterfeit chips) will perform, how long they will last, and the full impact of failure", said study.

Under SEERA, export of tested working equipment will continue and is expected to grow, creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs for Americans.
