Saturday that an American global aerospace firm will be transferring critical missile technologies to Taiwan.
Ministry of National Defense (MND) spokesman Chen Chung-chi (陳中吉) told reporters that because the issue concerns private business entities, the ministry would have no comment on the story.
Chen was asked to respond to a Liberty Times report published Saturday that Lockheed Martin has agreed to transfer titanium investment casting process technology to Taiwanese companies.
The report also cited an unnamed senior MND official as saying that the American company’s interest in cooperation is aimed at helping Taiwan’s defense industry enhance and upgrade its existing capabilities. [FULL STORY]
