No offense guys but the primative block that the troublemaker chavez has is is junk in US air force standards. F-16 is being phased out here for the JSF anyhow.

that doesnt mean china cant put the planes to good use. china can always put them to good use. china could make a huge program and revers engineer the planes. then you would end up with the "chengdu f-16", fitted with some chinese radars,weapons and avionics. such an airccraft would be an immediate sucess on the international markt. being a highly proven u.s aircraft now offered for a fraction of the price.

We buy most of our oil from Canada,and the Saudis. We can always buy more from Canada thus improving the over all economy of North America or buy more from mexico.Also, the Euro market is already saturated with F-16 and F-18 so only third world dictatorships would probably want the cheap rip off version.

They are useless without our tech like a turkey shoot to US and EU fighters. Oh well I guess one can dream eh?
well , i am frm China , i read the news in the newspaper yesterday , so i can tell u guys something in a chinese eyes .
the usage of F-16 for china are (1) it is helpful for china to study the manufacturing technology of usa combat fighters (2) we can take F-16 as the assuming rival , so as to find ways to defeat F-16 of Taiwan (3) the engines of F-16 is the most useful for china , since our engine-manufacturing is far behind western technology
try to understand my words , guys .:china:

Actually the J-10 is at parity or better than the F-16. The 16 is just a widly used fighter and people still think its good because of that. It is a good mud mover for ground attack missions for being single engine but it dies everytime to F-15's and has zero chance vs an F22 or eurofighter.
Thats because refining capacity was hurt by them we had plenty of crude but could'nt refine it fast enough. :/ We need more refining capacity here and worldwide.
