Yamaha Reportedly Provided Inaccurate Information on Export License Application Submitted to Government of Japan
As an update to our previous story on this subject, today's Asahi Shimbun newspaper reports that Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. "deliberately understated the technological functions of an unmanned helicopter it planned to sell to a Chinese company when it applied for an export permit" from the Japanese Government. The paper reports that Yamaha "downplayed the advanced technology" in its export license applications, including "the fact that it is equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) and other high-tech devices."
