But on a serious note, a lot of technology no doubt stolen. Where would their armed forces be today without it? Oh! And of course all the new factories built there by western and Japanese businesses, in exchange for "cheap" labor. Allowing them to free up their money for the expansion and modernization of their military.

Nothing like building one's own coffin.

Not a full copy, too much tech they don't have. But it looks good and I think that matters to them. Like their carriers. And again, they likely do not have the kind of experienced personnel needed for actual combat operations. Like the carriers. But they can posture away with this stuff.

Can we STOP this massive ongoing theft of US tech by the Chinese!! This is just outta control!

Which participant is more culpable and evil: a thief or the "victim" who willingly allows and benefits from the theft?

Our nation is thoroughly compromised by globalist-aligned grifters amassing wealth from the destruction of the country.

SB and Gray Bear I concur. Big business and some politicians have sold us out for short term gain and cheap (slave cheap) Chinese labor. One of the companies I worked for, was one of the first to build new manufacturing facilities in China and India and close and fire those in the US. They then did the same with their tech. At the time China was 20 years behind us in military technology. From that point forward, they have quickly caught up.

Will the J-35 be assigned to their new aircraft carrier, if it ever gets completed? I have seen a couple articles lately that comment on the lack of quality of Chinese weapons that have been sold on the world market. Maybe their export units are not as good as their retained equipment, however, I have to wonder if the vaunted Chinese military is equipped with crap.

RJ we have to hope.

No carrier ops experience. It does not appear that they have caught up yet. They do not have the output or expertise as far as I am aware. The new carrier is at sea for trials. No word on air groups that I know. I doubt they are close to ready for anything.

I would not expect their fighter to be comparable to ours, missing a bunch of tech apparently. My guess is that much of their stuff is not up to US standards. Some industry and development is said to be subject to corruption and political loyalty priorities.

They are aggressive corporate spies. We have been duped into employing some of them at times.

One thing they are ahead on is producing and globally circulating unpleasant viruses.

Underestimating the chinese is a great mistake. Of course they copied a lot of tech. But they have built on it. link

Agreed…in general they are fully committed to a modern top tier military. They hit some bumps, but they must be watched closely. They are getting there.

I do not underestimate them. I've been preaching this since the 80's. Even if they are only 75% as good as ours, they now have the new manufacturing facilities to replace them quickly. So if we have a 3 to 1 kill margin, they can replace them. Similar to the Germans in WW2. Of cannon fodder goes to them hands down. Technology was our only advantage militarily.

Totally agree with the last three posters. We are in a position to be hosed!

Just because they are evil thieves does not mean they are stupid.
