TAIPEI – Taiwan prosecutors said on Monday they are investigating accusations that people tried to interfere in the island’s submarine programme and that details about it were leaked, in what would be a serious breach of security.on Thursday, a major step in a project aimed at strengthening the island’s defence and deterrence against the Chinese navy, though the vessel will not enter service for two years.
Admiral Huang Shu-kuang, who is leading the programme, told the local media last week that lawmakers, whom he did not name, had made it difficult for the programme to purchase critical equipment, and that a contractor who had failed to obtain a bid forwarded information to China. Taiwan’s Supreme Prosecutors Office, in a short statement, said Adm Huang’s accusations had attracted “great attention”, given the national security and defence implications.
It said it had instructed prosecutors to"investigate the case as soon as possible in order to safeguard national security".Taiwan, which China views as its own territory, has made the indigenous submarine programme a key part of an ambitious project to modernise its armed forces as Beijing stages almost daily military exercises to assert its sovereignty claims.
The programme has drawn on expertise and technology from several countries – a breakthrough for diplomatically isolated Taiwan. REUTERS
