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.

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!

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 looks a little like "FireFox" from the Clint Eastwood film;

And the fool at the top cancels our F-22 because of cost. If they, like the Japanese, decide to hit us, we are in trouble.

In the meantime, they'll have to take comfort in the fact that while the F-22 Raptor may be more agile and made entirely in the U.S.,

Agility is nice, but the whole point of a stealth fighter is to shoot down the other guy before he even knows you're there. Better sensors, and information exchange as part of superior system with other assets make the F-22 superior. Dog fights are a thing of the past.

the Dragon carries more fuel and weapons than Lockheed's fighter.

That means it will make a bigger boom when the F-22 shoots it out of the sky.
