Congress investigates F-35 parts diverted to Hong Kong

Original: Hill investigates after F-35 parts diverted to Hong Kong

The probe raises concerns about supply-chain security for the stealth fighter programme and potential Chinese access to sensitive American military technology. Lawmakers are expected to scrutinise export controls and defence contractor oversight as the investigation unfolds.

Why now: Concerns over sensitive US military technology potentially reaching China have prompted congressional scrutiny of defence supply chains.
