The only thing the US has been demonstrating for the past 30 years is that the jets they make are overpriced junk that's never actually been tested in combat against a peer competitor. The F35 in particular is an unmitigated disaster that's now cost US tax payers over a trillion dollars. What China is demonstrating is that they can build more advanced technology at a fraction of a cost, and do it before the US can. Also, imagine thinking that China would not be able to manufacture something at scale. 😂

You keep on coping though, it's adorable.
