Did the US sell the Chinese the F-22 plans?

Quote from pspr:

The J-20 is supposedly from a Russian design but some of the stealth may have been engineered from parts salvaged from a downed U.S. F-117 shot down over Serbia in 1999.

China did steal the Navy's AEGIS system and other military tech.

I just ran out to my back yard to check and it lookes like they haven't stolen my dog's poop yet. :D
 
I would imagine the chances of even YF-22 data getting out there are slim but lets not discount the fact the math behind stealthy supersonic aircraft leads us to airframes that share a lot of similarities.

Last I checked, the F117 doesn't look anything like the F22.

They're good at leaving trash with the trash.

You are correct the F-117 does not look anything like the current crop of stealthy supersonic warplanes probably because the F-117's max speed is Mach 0.92 while supersonic is Mach 1 and above. :)
