China's new destroyers feature Aegis tech copied from U.S.
China's military put its new guided missile destroyers on display last week, disclosing its two new warships that are equipped with Aegis-type battle management systems.
Two new Luyang II guided missile destroyers are part of China's naval builduup.
The two Luyang II guided missile destroyers are Beijing's first Aegis-type ships. The ships are currently undergoing sea trials.
U.S. intelligence officials say China stole the technology for the Aegis battle management system by setting up a front company in the United States that became a subcontractor for the Aegis system manufacturer. We are our own worst enemy.
