Japan and China have had a YUGE disdain for each other for a long time. It’s good for us to have some allies over there, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
Also the jet itself isnt whats most valuable, it’s actually the missile guiding system which USA doesnt give out so easily. We sell all sorts of jets to friendly nations, just without advance weapon systems.
I don't understand why selling jets to other countries is a good thing.
There's nothing stopping them from dismantling one, documenting it, and, when need be, cloning it.
I do not have a lot of love for Japan. They're just China, but smarter.
