Xi mocks Taipei as Swiss firm sends Taiwan's missile parts to China for repairs

Published on Jan 09, 2023 09:04 pm IST

Taiwan was left red-faced after parts of its Hsiung Feng III missile landed in China for repairs. Taiwan's defence ministry had sent the theodolite of the 'carrier killer' back to its manufacturer - Swiss firm Leica - for some repairs. But since the Swiss firm's Asia unit is located in China, it forwarded the package there. Taiwan only came to know about it when the repaired part arrived from an airport in China's Shandong. Taiwan has now refuted the claims of any data leak but became a laughing stock for its 'blunder' on social media. Watch this video for more details.
