Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took over the country in 1949, the Chinese regime has consistently been stealing military technology from other countries. In recent years, theft seems to have become a national strategy for growing its military, and it has become an increasingly worrisome problem.
This January, multiple news sources reported that in an official promotion video released by China’s state-run Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, an L-15 jet that conducted a test-flight at the China Flight Test Establishment carried a brand-new, domestic-made guided bomb underneath its prototype wing. The model name “TL-20/CK-G” was written on the bomb. Observers outside China immediately noted the striking similarities between TL-20 and GBU-53/B, the latest deployed second-generation Small Diameter Bomb of the U.S. Air Force.
