I can feel the comments will be nothing new compare to what we can see 14 years ago like some "stolen technology" "copycat" s**t.:sweat_smile:
China is both a leading nation in certain fields of technological development, such as material science, and also a leader in having a government run espionage program focused heavily on the theft of technological developments of other nations and their businesses to strip away their technological and economic edge. It's not surprising China would develop something like this, but how much is home developed and how much of it was built through technology theft we'll never know and as such will always cast a negative light on their developments because of it.
Not to mention that China is notorious for making big shows of their their supposed new technologies, but then they quickly break down, fizzle out, or spontaneously combust.

I think we can stop with the copying accusations now, that's an entire next generation fighter, even if only a prototype. They're clearly capable of using original ideas even if they had to build upon others, then again no one's advancement comes from thin air.

Yeah just like the billions dollars Americans spent on canceled procurement programs.
though only tangentially related, are we looking at a future where all stealth fighters might get obsoleted by advances in drone warfare? I doubt they'd go away completely.
