It's doesn't really matter TBH. The US and China or Russia will never go to war with each other. If it ever happens it's nuclear war.

Stealth bombers/fighters are used in conflicts with 3rd world countries that can't really fight aginst them.

By the time technology of this type filters down into countries like Syria or Iran ect.. There will be something new.

IMO, the next wave of high tech bombers/fighters will be sub orbital allowing the air/space craft to be launched in the US and hit a target anywhere in the world with-in a few hours.

It won't have to be stealth as there will be nothing which can hit it except on take off and landing but that can be done over the US.

Keep in mind current stealth technology used today was developed in the 80s and 90s. That's how far ahead of the curve military tech is.

Meaning this China radar thing if it works and can be deployed in the field is still nearly 30 years behind.

The future is gonna be about cheap unmanned aircraft which can be lost or sacrificed to deploy their munitions.
