Considering all iPads and iPhones are being produced in Communist China and “can not be made in the USA”, why is anyone surprised how fast they are developing their stealth fighter?
We are idiots. Short sighted, foolish, idiots.

Ipads and Ipods haven’t been weaponized have they?
I’m afraid your analogy is a bit like saying we won WWII due to the transistor radio.

My analogy has to do with a technological and manufacturing advantage we have surrendered to our largest communist enemy.
Doesn’t it concern you a at least a little?

Agreed. And those who lean hard on the “superior quality” of US made products seem to have forgotten how “made in Japan” went from a joke to not so funny in 30 years.
Resting on your laurels isn’t a good long-term policy.

When they decide it's time to take Taiwan, they'll have us where they want us, beholden to them, and who they want in charge of us.
They've already learned how to hack in and take control of NASA, various power grids, traffic grids, sanitation systems, data systems, etc.
But don't worry. The Chicoms won't, nor will anyone else, be able to stop us from giving our Ms. Flukes their free birth control.
Thanks to obama and the progressives, unlike the Chinese, WE know what's really important!

You should read what Jobs said about how the Chinese have transformed themselves into a manufacturing giant, with brand new state of the art factories, dedicated, eager labor and the ability to quickly adapt to a new product.
We, on the other hand, have taught them all we know and got out of the business of producing.
We taught them how to be what we used to be and then we retired.

My money says the Canards will fall off and the J-20 becomes a lawn dart!!
In aeronautics, canard (French for “duck”) is an airframe configuration of fixed-wing aircraft in which the forward surface is smaller than the rearward, the former being known as the “canard”, while the latter is the main wing. In contrast a conventional aircraft has a small horizontal stabilizer behind the main wing.

It depends how serious they want to develop this technology.According to "The Telegraph" their design is 25 years old.They still can't compete with us.

Thanks for the ping. That is a VERY agile air-superiority fighter. Look at the canards set well forward.

According to "The Telegraph" their design is 25 years old.They still can't compete with us. The fact that its a 25 year old design is not surprising at all. The F22's planning and design began in the early 80's. Lockheed won the contract to build the thing as far back as 1991. It also doesn't matter if they are completely equivalent in performance to our planes either as long as they build and fly more of them. Quantity has a quality all of it's own.

Exactly!
That’s why the treasoncrats killed the F-22 program at 187 aircraft, instead of buying enough for a 1 for 1 replacement of the elderly F-15 as well as enough to cover for attrition.

Great illustration of how comrade obama sets his priorities.
