Mps Asked Not To Buy Chinese Military Boots, Boycott Chinese Made Again.

Following

After the Olympic Games threatened to burn the Chinese made American uniforms, the US Congressmen again boycotted "made in China" and asked The Pentagon not to buy military supplies made in China.

According to the air force times reported in June this year, a air force Sergeant stationed in Afghanistan has received two Chinese products before and after.

Later, he changed into American boots in his strong demand, and he wrote to the air force times to complain about it.

After the air force report was published, the air force stressed that the Berry amendment does not apply to military supplies worth less than US $150 thousand, so it is not inappropriate to distribute a pair of Chinese military boots to officers and men.

Democratic congressman Mike McCord from Maine and Duncan Hunt, a Republican congressman from California, sent an open letter earlier, claiming that 4 months ago, an air force officer had caught their attention, demanding that The Pentagon comply with the "Berry amendment" formulated in 1941, that is, military supplies such as food and clothing must be produced and manufactured in the United States.

In an open letter, Hunter and Michael said that the United States is still fighting and the economy is recovering from a severe recession. Therefore, it is more important for The Pentagon to abide by the "Berry amendment", and "the United States should not rely on other countries, especially those with global conflicts of interest, to supply military supplies".

A spokesman told the media that 17 members had signed their support in an open letter, but masked and Hunter had not yet decided when to send the letter to The Pentagon.

The US military has not commented on this matter.

After the public letter was issued, the media pointed out that the "shoe wearing" issue of the US Army was of great importance to him because he had a shoe factory in his constituency.

In a personal statement, McCord also said that The Pentagon's adherence to the "Berry amendment" will help the development of American shoe companies, such as Newban (NewBalance), which owns large factories in Maine.

On the eve of the London Olympic Games in July this year, the Chinese made Olympic uniform also aroused fierce reactions from some members of the Capitol Hill. Reed, the majority leader of the Senate and Democratic Party member Harry, threatened to burn the clothes again. Many American netizens criticized the idea of being politicized in the age of globalization.
