Why am I not surprised. 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/ja ... technology
So instead of developing their OWN stealth tech from scratch, they reverse-engineered our near 30-year old stuff...maybe (Nighthawk debuted in '83, BTW). From a stealth standpoint only and disregarding all that breathless "significant threat to American air superiority" noise, where then does that puts this thing on the parity scale with the Raptor?

stealth tech was copied(better say stoled) from Germany,like missile tech and other stuff...russians did the same thing,so it´s not really exclusiv to US.
spying is a common practice,most developped nations are guilty of stealing technology from eachother so why condemn China only?
why should China reinvent the wheel?

I prefer that they are always stealing our technology, it means while they are figuring out how it works, we (USA) are working on the next level. As I told a foreign student once, we taught you everything YOU know, we did not teach you everything that WE know.

| J-20's tech, regardless of where it comes from, is pretty much irrelevant today and for at least 7-10 yrs imho. No offense to anyone. PLAF's much more superior achievements and advances in the near-term however have come in the form of J-10B and J-11/15 class threats to the region. What 35 yr old tech might be related to J-20 in 10 yrs from now really shouldn't be an issue at imho. Respects to all. |

J-20 to me is an attempt by RAC MiG (with their MiG [Link pending approval] tech) and the PLAF (with their never-ending lust to be comparable to the USAF) to both get on the fifth generation stage.
