China's long-anticipated Xi'an H-20 stealth bomber remains shrouded in mystery, with no official unveiling in sight. Despite state media hints and promises of its debut, the aircraft will not be showcased at Airshow China 2023.

It’s parked next to their new sub.
It doesn’t matter if they stole the “technology”, i.e. how to design RF low observables structures. They have lots of smart people, they would get there eventually anyway.
The real story is that China’s military power comes from the massive trade advantages we GAVE them. THAT would have taken them a century left on their own.
The theory was that trade would moderate their behavior. DID IT?
The problem with stealing technology is that you don’t know how to develop it or use it. And they never test it.
I was in Moscow and Leningrad, during the height of The Cold War. I left thinking “We are concerned that these guys are going to defeat us ? No way ! “
I suspect the same thing is going on with China. Never underestimate your enemy, but doubt they are military supermen.
They didn’t get the blueprints they only have pictures ?
All true. You end up being two steps behind permanently.
China’s New H-20 Stealth Bomber Is ‘Not YET Ready for a Debut’
With all the technology the west is giving them, they’ll be ready when we least expect it.
LOL. Yeah, another fearsome Made in China military asset.
Bkmk
Wasn’t that Kissinger’s idea? 🙄
The real story is that China’s military power is more fake than real.
Yeah. Mr. K was a real genius, just ask him. SuperSmartyPants, playin’ 9-D chess with the Russians.
Think they won.
They only have 20M men under arms. Think we should give ‘em a go and find out?

20 million men have underarms ... that is a huge exaggeration.

The Vietnamese have trounced them twice, the Indians made them run, they have no combat experience, they have low moral, cry easily, are very poorly educated.
But they are very good at parades and marching in formations.
Yeah I’ve seen the “official” numbers and really don’t believe them for a minute.
“The Vietnamese have trounced them twice, the Indians made them run, they have no combat experience, they have low moral, cry easily, are very poorly educated”
And all that was some time ago. You forgot the unpleasantness on the border with Russia back in the day.
But that was when they were fighting with themselves internally. That appears to have been quelled since Tiananmen. Red Guards now beg on the streets of Beijing like the worthless student problem children they always were.
If you think that a country with 1.4B+ people can’t put together a massive force, tell me why. They now have industries and wealth unseen in their history,
I suspect that China is a ‘Paper Dragon’.
You obviously do not know the Chinese.
First you troll for Putin, now you troll for Xi. He does pay better, however.
