Hong Kong teacher jailed for 3 years for molesting pupil during free tutoring

China has seized potentially sensitive parts from an F-35 stealth fighter that were diverted to Hong Kong while being shipped from Australia to the United States, according to Bloomberg. The shipment, initially destined for the US, included an F-35 cockpit canopy and weapons-bay door, both coated with radar-absorbing material to enhance stealth capabilities.

The package was rerouted to Hong Kong after stopping in South Korea, though it remains unclear if the diversion was intentional or an error. Chinese authorities have taken possession of the parts and have not returned them. Two congressional committees, the House Armed Services Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, are investigating the incident, along with the Senate Armed Services airland subcommittee.

The disclosure came as Chinese President Xi Jinping was in the US for a state visit, drawing attention from lawmakers concerned about the protection of sensitive military technology.
