Radar sale to China stopped
The Bush administration blocked the sale of an advanced radar system

It is NOT a "stealth detecting" radar. Virtually all air search radars
have *some* capability to detect stealty aircraft.
" Vera is a second-generation, passive radar-detection system that
American officials think has some capability to detect U.S.
radar-evading stealth aircraft". Also note that "detecting" and identifying,
tracking, and targeting are vastly different.
