Lockheed Martin going after AVIC for theft of intellectual property with the J-31???

Photos of a Lockheed Martin employee surfaced on the Internet indicating that he spends a few hours taking snapshots of the J-31/FC-31 static display, hoping to find signs of intellectual property infringement. Good luck! 


The above photos were posted on the J-31 facebook page and they ... well you can read the caption.

Is LM actually sending people to the Chinese Air Show and checking the model to see if they can find evidence of theft of intellectual property?

This has to be propaganda!  China stole the tech and the US govt, LM, BAE and the other stake holders in this program rolled over. If that actually is a LM employee then my guess is that he's looking for partnership opportunities with Communist China.  International defense firms have only customers...no loyalty and no nationality.

Sidenote:  To the employees of defense firms.  Don't react emotionally to that statement!  I believe that you are loyalist (the vast majority anyway), but I don't believe it extends to the boardroom or many of the "big" shareholders.
