Taiwan Missile Component, Swiss Repair Center, China Security Risk
A critical component of Taiwan's most advanced "carrier killer" missiles was inadvertently sent to China for repairs. The device, a Leica theodolite used for calibration, was sent to the manufacturer in Switzerland, which then forwarded it to a maintenance center in Qingdao, China. Taiwanese officials claim no sensitive data was leaked, but the incident has sparked a review of military supply chain security.
