#1 Conspiracy theorists believe that allowing the Chinese to 'steal' the design docs is the final step in a deep conspiracy to sap and impurify Chinese aviation by tricking them into building the F-35.

#2 I love that theory SteveS, unfortunately I cannot bring myself to believe that the bozos in and around government:

A. Are smart enough to think of this;
B. disciplined enough to pull it off without leaking like a sieve;
C. Think that tricking or harming China in anyway is a good thing.

Other than that................

#3 As if we need any more reason to dump this and go make something better

Something that would even work would be nice.
