The Chinese are getting to work on their on active radar BVRAAMs like the SD-10 & shorter range weapons like the PL-11 & 12.Those weapons have Russian help & would gain a lot from an infusion of American tech from systems like the AMRAAM or Aim-9X,which may end up being sold to Pakistan.& given Pakistan's longlasting friendship with China,they wouldn't mind tossing a few missiles to Beijing.

About the F/A-22,the numbers being ordered are very small(about 200 as of now)-there is no guarantee that there will be enough of them to provide complete superiority against China.

Lastly,sensible nations don't sell weaponry to troublemakers or potential troublemakers & then design systems to defeat the earlier ones.

Thanks.

I agree about the transfer of sensitive tech to questionable partners. Not a good idea, unless the tech is poisoned, or has a trojan.

We are not living under the B(J)enign rule of Bubba. I doubt any unacceptable tech transfers will occur.

There's a new Sheriff in town.

Chin up!
