Mini-clone anyway, they aren't much bigger than a ranger.

lol, I love the one picture with the guy in the suite looking like he knows what he is looking at. HA! They would not know a real truck if it ran over them.

I recall that Toyota of Japan learned how to build cars by tearing apart a Chevrolet. Thus, the idea of copying designs is not exclusive to the Chinese, but they do seem to have taken it to a whole new level.

Our companies put millions of dollars into research and development, only to have Chinese companies copy their designs, because the Chinese government will shield them [many companies are gov owned] from law suits. Until we have the world come together and demand fair trade and re-alignmnet of the playing field, then this c**p will continue to happen.

Russia = 120 Million People

China = 1.2 Billion People

Even though China has 10x the population of Russia, which country do you think provides the technological and engineering/design platform for much of the Aerospace, Rocket, Firearms, Field Tank, and other platforms??? China has been copying Russian designs for decades now and you'd think with all the media portrayal and skewed information that it's the other way around. Russia licenses some of the stuff to China, but there's also trillions in intelllectual property that China flat-out steals.

Look at the J-20 fighter - if somebody is going to sit there with a straight face and try to tell me that it's not a 80% composite of our F-22 Raptor, then that person is seriously delusional.

Try a 90% clone of Sukoi's PAK-FA / T-50 in looks anyway, there is no proof it is as tealthy as either the PAK-FA or F-22

EDit: Whoops was looking at early concepts for the J-20. My Bad.

Yes, the J-20 has a lot of design cues from both the Raptor and Sukhoi, but I didn't know if people here really follow much on MiG or Su planes, so I highlighted the F-22. You're right.

Not many quality videos or even confirmed (by neutral Party) specs on the J-20 that I have seen.

I'd probably buy that truck over another ford truck. It will probably stay running much longer.
