Another way to think about it is that the US has many potential kill switches that aren’t a movie style satellite beaming “SHUT DOWN COMPUTER” at the fighter. There are lots of ways they US could coerce allies into behaving on threat of their planes being rendered useless.
Which further proves that for all the shit that the US has claimed about Chinese tech, the US has always been the real threat. Just got to keep gaslighting the other Western powers into letting us into their systems to “protect against the CEECEEPEE.” It has been sad (pathetic more specifically) to see how US “allies” have just hand over everything and proudly rally against China.
