The islet where it was found, Tungyin, is part of the Matsu island ground lying just off the coast of China’s Fujian province. Calls and messages sent to the company identified in the report, Taiyuan Wireless First Factory Ltd., went unanswered. Information on the equipment was written in the simplified Chinese characters used on the mainland rather than the traditional on Taiwan, the ministry said.
