China’s Ripoff

How do you feel knowing that the Chinese have, for two decades, been secretly ripping off the plans for America’s most sophisticated weapons?

• Maybe concern that we’ve helped our adversaries become more lethal if we are ever in another shooting war with Communist China?
• Perhaps alarm that our own troops’ weapons may not perform as they are supposed to – because the Chinese will have learned, thanks to their cyber-espionage, how to counter and perhaps neutralize them?
•  At least, you should be furious that China has effectively stolen your tax-dollars, skipping – thanks to all its relentless spying – the expensive process involved in experimenting with and then producing, for example, state-of-the-art stealth fighters and tilt-rotors?

Let’s face it: China is no friend, and we need to stop pretending otherwise.
