Taichung prosecutors said the case began when Army acceptance inspection found parts stamped “CN,” leading to mid-October searches of the company and homes and the detention of founder Tu Ta-sen and his wife on National Security Act suspicions. Of the 32 units identified by the Interior Ministry, 30 are an undelivered National Immigration Agency order from Su Yuan Technology worth NT$2.75 million; the agency will refuse the company's and any Chinese-made products, and the ministry has not ruled out claiming damages. Defense Minister Wellington Koo has ordered an Army review and will announce results once confirmed.
