China takes new stealth jet for test flight during Obama visit

China takes new stealth jet for test flight during Obama visit | Fox News:
China's military upstaged the Asian economic summit in Beijing this week by conducting test flights of a new stealth jet prototype, as the White House called on Beijing to halt its cyber attacks.
Demonstration flights by the new J-31 fighter jet -- China's second new radar-evading warplane -- were a key feature at a major arms show in Zhuhai, located near Macau, on Monday. 
The J-31 flights coincided with President Obama's visit to Beijing for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit meeting.
In a speech and meetings with Chinese leaders, Obama called on China to curtail cyber theft of trade secrets. 
China obtained secrets from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter through cyber attacks against a subcontractor for Lockheed Martin. 
.....Meanwhile, White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters in Beijing Tuesday that the president would press China's leader Xi Jinping to curb Chinese cyber espionage.
