When questioned by local reporters on the story, China’s top diplomat Li Jiming refused to comment on the issue.

“Whether anything like that, a repairing factory, because of the request of the Bangladesh government or something like that — I cannot firmly confirm this information because this is from some report,” Li was quoted as saying.

Bangladesh’s Army and Air Force operates the Chinese-made FM-90 air defense missile system.
