Yeah, all they need is an American more interested in$$ than national interests and they can probably run out a "knock off" of Raptor within the a decade. And btw they can be innovative and progress with a design not originally thiers.

Thier A-5 Fantans for example or some of the planes they have developed from the Mig -21 so much you can't recognise them.

Yes the USA has the brains and budget and technology to develop super fighters, the chinese just have the smarts to save thier R&D dollars by copying it, then modify it for local conditions.

As to planes developed in international co-operation. Hawker P.????>Hawker Kestrel > BAe Harrier > MCD/BAE Harrier II

Mustang. British Purchasing Commission wanting licensed P-40s. Talked into giving NA a chance to design its own. Mustang with Allison. Test examples to USAAC. Mustang I to RAF. RAF fit Merlin to Mustang. NA starts producing Merlin P-51s.

EE Canberra. Beats US tenders for USAF order. license to Martin. Built, modified adapted as B-57 Marauder.

Raytheon T-6 Texan II developed from Swiss Pilatus PC-9
MCD T-45 Goshawk developed from BAe Hawk

Its 1941 all over again. Japanese cant produce first class planes, only old cheap inferior knock offs of obsolete American and European types.....whoops sorry A6M Zeros! Where they come from?
Why werent we told. Oh we had intelligence from observers in China but we chose not to believe it? Oh Darn!
Oh by the way are Chinese also too near sighted to be good pilots, or have no sense of balance from being carried on the backs of thier mothers as babies?

I have to say im amazed at the amount of copies that come out of China. The rip off of the GM Hummer took the cake im my book. I can understand stealing a planes design but a Truck Its not really hard to design a military truck its not rocket science.

I guess its just cheaper to copy something then to design it.


you wanna see some design hijacking, check out this peice.




No, it's not a Honda CR-V... it's a Shuanghuan S-RV!


Remeber many car manufacturers have partners in china that sell their products under their name... it's the easiest way into a large market like china.

That said you are right it is a blatant rip-off and it's one of the reasons the government is cracking down on Intellectual property rights over the past vew years, as it deters direct foreign investment (DFI)
