A report for the Pentagon was released by Arlington, Virginia-based Govini, which in 2019 received a five-year, $400 million contract from the Pentagon to provide data, analysis and information on Department of Defense spending, supply chain and acquisitions.

The report also states that dependence on the Chinese supply chain is present on every major weapons platform, including US aircraft carriers.

It is separately noted that the current dependence on China cannot be resolved even in a decade. Because a “supply chain” at this scale is an entire economy, as it is a network of many firms that buy and sell from each other.

NATO can't even keep up with Russia which is minuscule compared to China in industrial terms.
