Mithril you have no idea what you are talking about. The F-22 export prohibition has been in place since the late 1990s. It predates the PAK-FA and J-20 by some time. The F-35 LO treatment has been designed from day one to be exportable without compromising US technology. The F-22 does not have the same provisions and one senior USAF officer giving an estimate thought it would cost at least one billion (in ought six dollars) to redesign the F-22 to use LO treatments and other materials that would not compromise US technology.
