China has hypersonic missiles, usa does not. Tell me how they "stole" them.
You mean those missiles lockheed martin had in the 70s? That LM is working with DARPA on now that other countries have caught up? The missiles we already have a working defense system for?
Those missiles?
Chinese hypersonic missiles are dependent on American technology smuggled to China through Chinese companies because "American technology — such as highly specialized aeronautical engineering software — fills critical gaps in domestic technology and is key to advances in Chinese weaponry."
That's how. Smuggling. Normal, boring smuggling.
