The Hormuz Letter

BREAKING: China has taken possession of sensitive US F-35 stealth parts mistakenly diverted to Hong Kong while being shipped from Australia to the US, including a cockpit canopy and a weapons-bay door both coated in radar-absorbing material, and has not returned them, per Bloomberg.
A US-contracted UPS aircraft was carrying the parts from Australia to the US for inspection. The aircraft stopped in South Korea and was routed from there to Hong Kong, with no explanation for either leg.
It comes as Xi arrives in the US today for a state visit with Trump.
