Boeing news | Boeing 787 wing flaw extends inside plane | Seattle Times Newspaper — Boeing has outsourced this plastic plane all over the world and this is the result of that fine decision. A TWO YEAR DELAY so far.
The wing damage that grounded Boeing’s new composite 787 Dreamliner occurred under less stress than previously reported — and is more extensive.
An engineer familiar with the details said the damage happened when the stress on the wings was well below the load the wings must bear to be federally certified to carry passengers.

The flawed construction is American, and not from the rest of the world.
I think your all a bunch of wingnutz!
Boing has always provided great planes and I prefere to fly with Singapore airlines.

Sounds a lot like a Dell/Hp/Compaq Aw hell, just call it a Windows computer
P.S.
Not to mention that it doesn’t work correctly.
Out sourcing all the major components and parts from suppliers from all ovet the world is done in these modern times for several reasons.
It is politically Correct and may generate more sales in unlikely places, in many cases the vender is an expert in his area of knowledge and can produce the items or product cheaper and better than the aircraft manufacturer. Airbus has embarked upon the same method, the A380 has landing Gear and Brakes made in different countries, for example..the Avionics is not all European, the Displays for the Avionics are made engineered and produced in a different country outside the traditional consortium.. its common practice in such a hugely complex feat of designing and building a modern airliner. No One Goes it alone. Boeing has partners in many continents as does Airbus. The A320 is even produced in China today!!! (yes its still assembled in Germany too).
The Boeing Guys will eventually get it right and produce a wonderful aircraft…better they delay now and fix it then send a few out the door with problems and fix it later?…
I have often wondered why titanium hasn’t been more extensively used in airframes. The cost of composite manufacturing must be on par with titanium mill stock.
