What sensitive F‑35 parts did China seize and how were they diverted to Hong Kong?
News When You Want It with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Amy Morris. The Chinese government has taken possession of potentially sensitive F-35 stealth aircraft parts that were inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong. While they were being sent to the U.S. from Australia, those parts, including a cockpit canopy, and a weapons bay door, were coated with radar absorbing material and were being shipped by UPS for inspection and possible repair or disposal. The Pentagon is working to get those parts back and is investigating the incident.
