Federal authorities blocked two South African containers with flight simulators destined for the Chinese military, the Justice Department said Thursday. The South African “mission crew trainers” contained American software and U.S. defense technical data that has been banned from transfer to China, the department said in a statement. The mobile classrooms are “intended to assist the PLA to train personnel on the use of airborne warning and control system (AWACS) and antisubmarine warfare (ASW) aircraft, focused mostly on the capabilities of the U.S. ASW maritime patrol aircraft ('MPA') P-8 Poseidon, manufactured by Boeing,” the complaint states.
