Yeah well, we probably used a lot of their people to design it.

Looks longer than Raptor. Perhaps for extended range and load; BOMB DELIVERER.

The Chinese version has underpowered engines. Their prime target for this jet is an AWACS aircraft not a dogfight.

It sure does.

Now we know where Hussein got the $35,000,000 with which to buy his new mansion in Hawaii.

That’s not bowing.

That’s trolling for bathhouse buddies. It’s code for “I’ll catch if you pitch.”

China now makes more than any other country.

Their exports improve every day, because we are sending our export factories there.

Chinese unemployment is very low.

We need to bring back American manufacturing. Now.
