Sensitive F-35 Equipment Ends Up in Chinese Hands
Republican lawmakers are expressing concern and demanding more information from the Pentagon after sensitive F-35 parts were diverted to Hong Kong and ended up in the possession of the Chinese government. The parts, which include a canopy with stealth technology and a weapons-bay door, were transported by UPS and were originally sent from Australia. The incident has sparked a congressional inquiry, with lawmakers seeking a full briefing from the administration on how the parts ended up in Chinese hands.
