Very doubtful. The coating is a very small part of stealth, and modern radars can analyze bizarre things like a hole is the sky (so to speak) that a theoretical perfect stealth plane would create.

Nope.
Typical Chinese propaganda.
How long did it take China to manufacture the bearings for ball point pens?

The bigger the claim, the bigger the lie.

Tofu Dreg engineering!

Can China manufacture top of the line jet engines for their military aircraft?
Still dependant on Russian smokers?

China lies and lies and lies and lies.

China’s main problem is corruption. It is deeply ingrained into their culture for millennias..............

Chinese researchers in material science dominate in U.S. universities. Most are
American citizens I hope.

They tried to steal the way to make toothpicks from a company on Maine.

If there was any truth to this claim, there is no way it would be published...
The chicoms have only one solution to anything secret being publicly divulged...

Well, if they have, they most likely stole it from our own research.

If it were true they’d keep their mouths shut about it.

Is that why they have buildings that fall apart?

I wonder if the Chinese walk into buildings, wondering they will collapse on their heads?

Chinese haven’t had an original thought over 4000 years.
If they have such a paint, it means they stole it from someone else.
