China has yet to be able to build a 4th gen fighter, let alone a 5th generation aircraft with stealth and super cruise technology.
Gates cancelled the F22 because “we can’t afford it”, and Obama spent the identical amount of money buying cars made in Korea, Japan, Germany and Mexico for anyone who had a bad enough trade in, whether US citizen or not.

The reason why China is racing to be more advance militarily is simply economics. Cost is still low. Every Chinese believe in being strong but only as a deterrence. No Chinese will fight unless it is in self defence. Americans wants to be strong to push their agenda or to kick butts.
China is not Japan. Otherwise Japan , korea and even India would be speaking Chinese. Money talks for Chinese. We are money mad.

Before we’ve got the Russian threat and now the China threat. They are all hype to keep the military complex in the US humming. One must definately keep a close eye on any upcoming power that challenges the U but to bankrupt the country by scaring people about a perceived threat is dangerous. The fomer USSR has bankrupt themselves by trying to keep up the weapons race based on perceived American threat as well. It led them no where.

It’s simply not easy to built an aircraft yet the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world. It takes alot of highly specialised skills to put one together and I don’t believe China has that capability yet. It’s one thing to just copy things but it’s totally different when you are producing cutting edge hardware.

- Och – more like “Ouch”.

Paragraphs with only a few words capitalized at the
start of sentences don’t make for good grammar.

america is finished. it is broke and will soon bow to China. The shining Dragon will over-come the rusted bird. america shivers and wets itself for fear of offending.
Rise the Dragon.

Bill Gertz,, Washington post:
The Defense Intelligence Agency is sticking by its estimates of when China will deploy a fifth-generation jet fighter after recent remarks by a Chinese general that Beijing’s most advanced jet could be fielded by 2017 – years earlier than U.S. intelligence projections.

Keep the F-22 production going. At worst it’s very high quality job creation. At best it will be a deterrent to possible military conflicts.
