Fucking Chinese!! First steal out technology and do under hand deals with the Russians to make a Stealth Fighter now this!? Another Cold War is brewing and i'm afraid this one will end very differently!!
 
we should just blow it the fuck up properly. with a smart bomb. sure they can trace it to us, but then again wed just be protecting our intellectual and top secret property.

While their knockoffs may appear convincing none of their material has ever been put through rigorous actual battlefield testing.

My father bought a watch from a "reputable" vendor when he was in China in '45. On the outside it looked fantastic, until you opened the watch up. The interior parts were stuck together with chewing gum.
The Chinese can copy the shit out of something but lack the understanding of "why", "where", and "how".

This is an excellent point .. and one that leads to hope.

Can you imagine it ... the Chinese Navy sails out it's new battle group, armed to the teeth with the very, very latest stolen US command and control technology. Admiral Chang smiles ... revels in the triumph, then slowly pushes the command that should begin the greatest moment in Chinese Naval history ... only for Donkey Kong 2 to start playing on all the radar screens.

Winning!

Very likely.:)
 
I'm mildly surprised they didn't rig it with explosives and set them off when they figured out they couldn't take it, so it would have mitigated what could be gained from it right there.


...and remember that "45" was 66 years ago already. China has come a long way, especially when it wants to do something. Just because the US has become dependent on it's cheap crap doesn't mean they are somehow still in the stone age. It's a lot easier, quicker, and takes a lot less resources to catch up or steal things than it is to innovate things that are only marginally better and get diminishing returns from the previous incarnations like we do. Given their population having only marginally worse things than their opponent isn't a big hindrance if it ever comes to conflict.
 
...errr nevermind. After reading the article again I noticed they did try to destroy it before they left. It makes me feel a little better the common sense approach was at least tried before they left.
