Gates: China's Hu confirms stealth jet test-flight

BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese President Hu Jintao confirmed the country had

staged its first test-flight of a stealth fighter jet, U.S. Defense

Secretary Robert Gates said on Tuesday after talks with Hu.

Gates said Hu told him that the maiden test-flight of the advanced fighter

jet was not timed to coincide with Gates's visit and had been pre-planned.

Chinese Internet accounts said the country had on Tuesday successfully

staged the first test-flight of a new J-20 stealth fighter jet that could

narrow the nation's military gap with the United States.

The Obama administration has made stronger military contacts one of the

tangible gains it hopes to win from Chinese President Hu's visit to

Washington next week.
