ZHUHAI, China -- China flexed its military muscle Tuesday during the country's largest air show, displaying its latest planes in a less-than-subtle reminder that it will not bow to U.S. pressure, economic or otherwise.
"Get ready for the Jian-20," a spirited announcer proclaimed, drawing wild cheers from the crowd. Within seconds, three J-20 stealth fighter jets zoomed across the sky. The state-of-the-art aircraft, which were officially deployed last February, performed a series of turns and aerial climbs for the crowd in a display that lasted about five minutes.
