British soldiers’ new Charles III cap badges have been delayed over fears the insignia could be bugged by Beijing.
said that British authorities have pressed pause on the delivery of the new insignias, designed to be worn on soldiers’ berets, over fears that some of the components manufactured in China could have been fitted with tiny tracking devices.
“There is a fear that tracking devices or a GPS transmitter could be embedded in the cap badges,” a senior U.K. defence official told the paper, “The result is a delay in the introduction of the cap badges as the U.K. does not have the capacity to manufacture them as quickly or as cheaply.” Tobias Ellwood, a U.K. lawmaker who has headed up the British parliament’s defense committee, said similar concerns had affected the production of ceremonial coins intended for visiting dignitaries. The coins were ultimately made in the U.K. despite costing five times as much as they would have if they had been made in China.
