Taiwan Tech Company Linked to Explosive Pagers in Lebanon
Taiwan’s tech industry is caught up in international politics as explosive pagers linked to Lebanon’s Hezbollah group were found to be branded with a Taiwanese company’s name. Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese firm, denied manufacturing the pagers, stating they were made by a European company under a licensing agreement.
The incident, involving explosive pagers in Lebanon, raises concerns for Taiwan’s globally renowned tech industry and its ties to global conflicts. While Taiwan is not directly implicated, the situation underscores the need for tech companies to scrutinize their supply chains.
With Taiwan’s powerful tech sector playing a crucial role in the global economy, this event serves as a reminder for the industry to prioritize ethical and secure manufacturing practices.
