Some Boeing Jets Have Substandard Parts, Whistleblower Claims
Looks like according to this guy some Boeing parts on the 777 and 737 spoiler system that were sourced from China have been produced by a sub-contractor that forged the material quality documents.

This article says FAA let all those parts go on the 777 'as is' and no problems reported. This was from Feb 27, couldn't find any other mainstream meida coverage so maybe a non story?

Not a non story, an OLD story. This Shi fellow started a lengthy thread on another well known aviation forum years ago.
Re: Some Boeing Jets Have Substandard Parts, Whistleblower Claims
That shi guy spammed the crap out of every vaguely aviation related sub reddit last year.
He didn't really have a good grasp of how to provide evidence and eventually his activity earned him a sitewide ban for spam.

How about Boeing's shoddy work in general?

Re: Some Boeing Jets Have Substandard Parts, Whistleblower Claims
Possibly not the best place to be looking to save money, Boeing...One change already implemented is that mechanics can close up many areas of the airplane without an inspector taking a final look. And as part of what Boeing calls its "Quality Transformation” program, the company intends to cut nearly 1,000 quality-inspector jobs over the next two years.
Will fix airplanes for food.

Ah yes. "Quality transformation"
They are aiming to transfer from a high quality to a low quality.
Crystal clear.
