Kris Osborn, National Interest: Could U.S. B-2 Stealth Bombers Take on Chinese Air Defenses?
U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers may soon be conducting fly-over missions, combat preparation drills and interoperability exercises near the Indian-Chinese border in coming days, raising interesting questions about the extent to which current variants of the 30-year old bomber could elude Chinese air defenses.
The mission, as a routine deployment of the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Miss., is not a combat mission but rather a readiness and training effort to forward position the bombers in the highly sensitive Pacific theater.
The B-2s are supporting the well-known Naval Support Facility in Diego Garcia, an island off the Eastern coast of India. Interestingly, B-2 pilots made the 30-hour trip directly from Whilteman in Missouri to Diego Garcia to attack Taliban targets in the opening days of Operation Enduring Freedom over Afghanistan.
The Bomber Task Force mission, according to an Air Force report, is to “deliver lethal, ready, long-range strike options to geographic combatant commanders anytime, anywhere.”

As usual neither side really knows, you must use it. If you do use it the results are almost always a surprise.
China is technologically always ahead of all other countries.
I don't understand why China is stealing obsolete technologies from the US, the EU and even Russia. And also why does nobody steal the admirable technologies of China?
I must be really stupid not to understand this.
I can appreciate your perception they are technically technologically ahead, however it isn't knowledge that was organically grown within their own borders and people over time.
It's not gleaned from standing on shoulders of giants.
This is why the West still retains the edge.
When it matters, we will innovate to overcome.
Ahead technologically?? and steal obsolete technologies? and really stupid not to understand it? You are almost there and you just came short. I can give you a relevant clue or ask yourself again. will you steal obsolete technology if you are ahead of technology?
