U.S. intelligence officials have raised concerns that China could exploit the sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia to steal sensitive technology, according to a report. The warning highlights fears that Beijing may seek to reverse-engineer or acquire classified information from the aircraft, which are among the most sophisticated in the world. Analysts suggest the transfer could undermine U.S. defense secrets and strengthen China’s military capabilities. The revelation comes amid growing tensions over arms sales and global security partnerships.
