Sky News can reveal a Chinese-owned company is making circuit boards for the top-secret next-generation F-35 warplanes flown by the UK and the United States

Chinese-owned company is making circuit boards for F-35 warplanes flown by Britain and the US, the Ministry of Defence has revealed.
The parts, made by Exception PCB based in Gloucestershire, south west England, "control many of the F-35's core capabilities", according to publicity material produced by the MoD.
That includes "its engines, lighting, fuel and navigation systems", it said.
The MoD maintains that Exception PCB presents "no risk" to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter supply chain and said it is an established manufacturer of circuit boards to the defence industry.
There is no suggestion that Exception PCB or its Chinese parent, Shenzhen Fastprint, have done anything wrong.
The news comes after accusations that the Chinese state has tried to steal details about the multi-billion-pound F-35 programme, headed by US defence giant Lockheed Martin.
The MoD promoted Exception PCB as an example of a UK-based firm that forms part of the F-35's supply chain in a publication in March.
It did not mention that Shenzhen Fastprint, a company based in China, bought Exception PCB in 2013.
