[Reporter Wang Yihong/Report from Taipei] In response to online rumors that the national team Hanxiang has also imported Chinese-made products, Hanxiang issued four major statements today to seriously clarify. Hanxiang emphasized that the research and development and manufacturing of drones and military aircraft have implemented a "non-red supply chain" and there has never been any procurement of Chinese-made components. Without verification from Hanxiang, the Chinese people's confidence in Hanxiang's national defense security has been shaken.
It is rumored on the Internet that Hanxiang imported drone components from a company in Guizhou, China, on October 11, 2025, worth US$94,860. In this regard, Hanxiang’s four major statements are as follows:
First, the Internet alleges that our company "imports drone components from China", which is inconsistent with the facts. The company's research, development and manufacturing of drones and military aircraft all implement a "non-red supply chain" and must pass strict customer review. There is absolutely no procurement of Chinese-made components.
2. The company’s business covers military aircraft, civil aircraft, drones, civil engine manufacturing, technology services and information services and other diversified fields. After verification, the import records quoted in the report are true, but the purchase was based on the company's selection by a major international engine manufacturer customer to purchase components required for civil engine manufacturing from Chinese manufacturers, and has nothing to do with domestic drone and military aircraft projects.
3. The company has always attached great importance to national defense independence and supply chain security. In military aircraft, drones and other related fields related to national security, from product design, component sourcing, supplier management to system integration, we adhere to the requirements of "non-red supply chain".
4. The company performs civil engine manufacturing business and purchases required parts from manufacturers in China as specified by international customers.
Hanxiang pointed out that the information spread online was not verified by Hanxiang, and the report was published based on online information, deliberately piecing it together as a drone business, causing public misunderstanding, seriously damaging goodwill, and shaking the public's trust in Hanxiang's compliance with national defense and security requirements.
