    China's J-20's actually look like a much better platform than the F-35 for conflict in that theatre. F-22's still look scary good tho.

      The development of the J-20 also costed like a fraction of the F-35

        To be fair they got any of the good or useful research and engineering of the f35s for free.

          So why is everyone always mad at China for allegedly stealing IP like military stuff ?

          Like who cares and also military stuff is for killing people I'm pretty sure "stealing" the plans and copying them is significantly less bad

            because westerners are the ultimate bootlickers of property owners.

      There's also only like 200 F-22s in existence. There are 10x as many FA-18s and 20x as many F-16s still in service.
