        I am 100% convinced China stole the f-35 plans. This is why Americans are so salty that all what is actually known about the j-20 is better then the f-35s.

          Many Bothan spies died zero-day vulnerabilities were patched to bring us these death star jet plans.

          But for real, I bet some of the big hacks in the past were used to find the plans, including the OMB hack to figure out who might have that info.

          The F-35 blueprints are actually an elaborate 1.7 trillion dollar psyop to cripple China's military tech development by causing every mechanic who views them to die of laughter.

    Hell ya love to be a Western Analyst, China is both lacking in soft power which is why countries aren't buying their jets but also have too much soft power which is by Belt and Road must be stopped. You literally can't be wrong.

    Is China even selling the J-20‘s or J-31 ?

    I highly doubt they have even considered letting anyone near the J-20s.

    If the Americans got their hands on one they would probably be able to figure out why their shitty f35’s are so trash.

    So when america exports soft and hard power in the form of fighter jet sales, for example to the UAE for $23 billion last year, what of it? Is it just acceptable? Would FP write an article about that?

    X to doubt.

    How long before we're completely overtaken in military technology too? I give it 10 years.
