The temporary pause is to allow the Pentagon to confirm whether the use of the metal is a violation, and if so, how to correct it.
The Pentagon has paused accepting new F-35 fighter jets after learning one of its metal parts was made in China. The temporary pause does not impact the F-35s already in service.
An F-35C Lightning II test aircraft taxies on the deck aboard the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower of the coast of Norfolk, Va., on Oct. 9, 2015. If the metal is found to be in noncompliance, then the Pentagon could pursue a national security waiver to allow the use of the metal in these jets.
