A key component of one of Taiwan's advanced anti-ship missile systems was sent to China for repairs, the island's top military research unit confirmed Wednesday.
Officials downplayed concerns about military data leaks to China from the repair, noting that the component sent was an optical instrument used for launch measurements and that the memory cards had been removed from the device before it was shipped, the BBC reported. Nevertheless, officials raised concerns over the island's military contract management following the mishap.
"Taiwan must be more strict and careful in its contract management," said Dr. Su Tzu-yun from Taiwan's Institute of Defence Security Research, per the BBC. "Of course, we would not want such equipment to be sent to China for repair."
