As someone who works in supply chain, I get what you're saying, but Chinese material is always suspect, and the certs aren't worth the paper it's printed on. Having said that, Boeing willingly moved to Chinese suppliers to "save money." I see it all the time. We move something to China and it works for 5 minutes then they start making it cheaper/shittier and we have to go back to our original supplier who then marks up their price as a fuck you to us for moving it in the first place. These MBAs are all about cost saving, and don't give 2 shits about the big picture.
Oh, I think it’s 100% plausible that they sourced some shitty Chinese titanium and are now trying to make that someone else’s fault. I’m just poking fun at the idea of them demanding paperwork from their suppliers (even if that’s a sensible thing to do now at this point) as if they just now learned about the issue and all their OWN paperwork and processes are in perfect order.
Hold on now, they might shoot the titanium in a parking lot so it can't talk anymore.
They need to make sure that the titanium for their doors is legitimate so that they can properly lubricate them with dish soap.
