China smart, you dumb. :)

They need lots of trainers for their other jets. Plus always good to have 2nd stringers with low overhead for lite strike, radar picket, airbase point defense, lite tanker, etc.

Next USN trainer wont even be able to do carrier landings. First time a co-ed DEI girl boss does a carrier landing it will be in F-18 or F-35, on a real front line carrier, since they scrapped old training non-nuke carriers. What could go wrong? :)
