China denies stealing US tech to build attack copter

[Oracle]

BEIJING: China on Thursday confirmed it had developed its first modern military attack helicopter, but denied reports that the chopper was a replica of stolen United States Black Hawk technology.

A Chinese defence ministry spokesperson claimed that the attack helicopter Z-10 was manufactured on indigenous know-how , including its engines. The website sought to refute allegations that Beijing had used stolen US technology to develop the attack helicopter which may have advanced stealth features.

The announcement comes weeks after a US defence contractor , United Technologies, told a US court that it may have violated an embargo on export of controlled technology to China. The company agreed to the pay a $75 million fine over the export violation.

Defence ministry spokesman Yang Yujun, in response to allegations made by US prosecutors, said the helicopter's manufacturer had used independent intellectual property rights. "China's attack helicopters and their engines are all self-developed , and have proprietary intellectual property rights," said Yang, adding that the so-called piracy "is far from truth" .

china must have stolen black hawk tech through Pakistan.


As lot of NATO military hardware stationed in few pak bases.

even pak allowed chinis to inspect stealth black hawk in osama compound or may be in storage area. in few months we will see stealth version of Z-10

US already stopped P&W from exporting engines. Chinis can't build anymore than the 6-8 they have now.
