Just another “free thinker” who believes that a country of 1 billion people, with good quality cheap/free higher education, a massive industrial base, and half a trillion dollars of annual R&D expenditure, can’t develop tech on their own. I’m sure there’s industrial/military espionage going on, but China is also pulling ahead in many research areas independently. With the way US is treating its scientists, I fully expect in a few years China will be the dominant STEM player in the world, US being second or third after europe.
Would they benefit from having an F-35 to take apart? Yes. Will they build a relatively competitive fighter jet without any F-35 tech for half the price or less? Also yes.
just another paranoid American! The reason i love china is because you guys are shitting bricks about it! Anything that scares yanks is good on my book!
China wants every bit of the F35s technology.
Just another tankie who thinks China’s advances aren’t based on what they’ve been able to steal from other countries.
