In the Tiangong missile bid case, it was exploded that manufacturers mixed in inferior components made in China. Former legislator Chen Baiwei reminded defense agencies in March last year of the risk of mixing important components with Chinese products.Photo: Chen Baiwei Facebook
The Tiangong missile developed by the National Zhongshan Academy of Sciences was reported by the media that the contractor used inferior Chinese products and mixed them as original ones. Components are not mixed with Sky Bow missiles. In this regard, Chen Baiwei, a former legislator of Taiwan’s Fundamental Advancement, mentioned that he reminded the national defense unit when he questioned in March last year, regarding the risk of confusing Chinese products of important components. Although the relevant units indicated that they might handle it, his office often received complaints regarding the possession of Chinese-made parts in some cases. Obviously, the perceptions of the people and the units were different.
Chen Baiwei said that in the Winter Olympics, the Chinese government once once more used all means to eat Taiwanese tofu, which caused the indignation of many people. In addition to various cultural and economic and trade means, the problem of Chinese termites in Taiwan, intentionally or unintentionally, has also been continuously exposed.
Chen Baiwei emphasized that we must first praise the self-clearing behavior of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the serious investigation of the procurator. But there is also concern that if there is no report from other manufacturers, will there be enough energy to prevent such ills in the future?
Chen Baiwei mentioned that from the past to the present, he and Taiwan Jijin have continued to call for the importance of sensitive information, key technologies, and infrastructure. , I hope to be able to deal with the national key (information) infrastructure, key national technology, sensitive personal information, personal biometric identification data, etc. related to national security. Clearly establish interagency norms to handle government procurement involving national security. The case is under consideration by the Transportation Commission.
In addition, Chen Baiwei also recalled that in March 2021, he raised the question of “implementation and verification of the source of anti-penetration components in defense procurement”, reminding defense units of the risk of mixing important components with Chinese products. Although the relevant unit indicated that it might handle the load, his office often received relevant petitions at that time, suggesting that the parts or components of some cases may be made in China. Obviously, the perceptions of the public and the unit are different. For example, when we purchase a kit rather than a single part, there may be some parts in it that come from other countries. Is there a way to check the current human process? Regardless of the size of the bid, how to implement the new rules for preferential use of MIT products in practice? How to avoid the occurrence of “MIC product skinning”? It is hoped that the relevant units can clarify such procedures and strengthen the prevention of possible risks.
Chen Baiwei believes that following last year’s questioning, the Tiangong missile scandal broke out this year, which once once more proved the importance of the questioning at that time. Although he was temporarily unable to work together with friends in Congress, he is still concerned regarding the fact that all walks of life have begun to pay attention to relevant issues. There is an inspiring sense of exhilaration. I believe that we will light the candles one by one, and there will be light in the sky.
