Don't forget that F35's stealthy characteristics are designed to counter I-band fighter RADARs. So the Chinese can build all the bi-static and low frequency RADARs that they like, the F35 will still get the first volley of air to air shots away before their fighters have even seen them! After the first shots are fired the cat is kind of out of the bag for stealth anyway.
