Here’s the headline:
F-35 Jets: Chinese-Owned Company Making Parts for Top-Secret UK-US Fighters”
Sounds dramatic .
As it turns out, Exception PCB, a UK-based fabricator, is building circuit boards for the next-gen airfighter. And Exception is owned by Shezhen Fastprint, the Chinese fabricator.
All angst aside, however, how is this different than TTM being the largest board supplier to the US Department of Defense?
