For a long time in the past, the army of Taiwan Province has been in a state of endless scandals, and there have been various oolong incidents, and the accident rate has even approached India. Dropping the F-5E today and the F-16V tomorrow is already a normal thing; not only that, the Taiwan Provincial Army has never been disappointed" in refreshing the lower limit, and now there is news that the missiles of the Taiwan Provincial Army have used the parts on Taobao.

According to the latest reports of the local media in Taiwan Province, due to the dpp authorities' obstinate will, today's Taiwan military can be said to be going farther and farther on the road of "resisting reunification by force", and at the end of last year they also passed the "Special Regulations on the Procurement of Naval and Air Combat Strength", planning to spend a total of NT$240 billion for the procurement of 8 kinds of missiles, of which NT$180 billion of orders will be subcontracted to non-governmental manufacturers on the island of Taiwan, and the project is responsible for the so-called "Chinese Academy of Sciences" in Taiwan Province. There has been another major scandal in this procurement case.

In order to save costs, a number of contractors in Taiwan Province, which were apportioned to the order this time, went so far as to buy civilian parts and materials that did not meet the standards of military supplies at all directly from the mainland shopping website "Taobao", and changed the packaging and labeled it to pretend to be products imported from the United States.
The only reason why they do this is to save costs, because the price of parts purchased from Taobao and U.S. military supplies can be hundreds of times different, and what they buy from Taobao includes ammonium perchlorate raw materials for explosions, military wires, diode and linear integrated circuits, silicon-controlled rectifiers for energization and even the most basic screw wire igniters. It seems that these black-hearted merchants on the island of Taiwan Province really conform to Marx's words: as long as the profits are high enough, they will not hesitate to take risks.
Although Taiwan's Taoyuan Inspection Department has detained some responsible persons in accordance with relevant regulations, this kind of atmosphere in Taiwan Province cannot be completely resolved by pulling out one case or two cases at all. Because the bidding of the so-called "Chinese Academy of Sciences" in Taiwan Province itself is very strange. For example, on the small screw, in theory, the so-called Chinese Academy of Sciences requires manufacturers to provide products produced within two years, but the required screw specifications are the standard version of the US military 20 years ago, and now this screw has long been discontinued, and even samples are difficult to find, which leads to the fact that the manufacturers of Zheng'er Bajing simply cannot win the tender, and as a result, Hsinchu's Taiwan Wilmar International United Company directly won most of the orders.
However, the company's capital is only NT$6 million, according to the island's regulations, it can only bear the bidding scheme of no more than NT$120 million at most, and as a result, the total tender contract price of the so-called "Chinese Academy of Sciences" exceeds NT$285 million.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that this company is located in an alley in Hsinchu City, at least from the appearance, it does not have any ability to produce military products, and a small civilian workshop has become an important supplier of taiwan's military industry, which is a slippery slope.

The parts and materials purchased by these merchants on the island of Taiwan Province from Taobao are mainly used for the production of the "Tiangong" series of air defense missiles, and as the main equipment of the air defense units of the Taiwan Provincial Army, the "Tiangong" series of air defense missiles has always been placed high hopes. It is estimated that Taiwan's top level itself has not been able to imagine that its own main air defense missiles are actually assembled with some second-hand parts on Taobao, and when it is really necessary to fight, I am afraid that whether these missiles can be successfully ignited is a problem.
