F-35 parts sent from Australia to US end up in China, report says; investigation underway as fears grow over sensitive stealth technology reaching Beijing

F-35 parts diverted to Hong Kong: Sensitive components of the US-made F-35 fighter jet were reportedly diverted to Hong Kong while being shipped from Australia to the US for repairs, prompting an investigation and congressional briefings over concerns about potential exposure of sensitive technology. The shipment reportedly included an F-35 cockpit canopy, which contains radar-absorbent material, although there is no public evidence that China obtained or examined the parts.
