Regardless of the fact that it's been accused as being a copy (which frankly I don't see any other western fighter having the same planform), its impressive that China went from farmland to stealth fighter in a little over 1 generation.

Regardless of its actual capabilities, this jet really contributes to the power projection necessary for deterrence, which is the main function of modern armies.

“will switch to domestic engines”? it has already switched to a domestic engine last year.

Adding a co-pilot to the J20 could allowed the Mighty Dragon to perform comprehensive tasks that other stealth fighters not able to do such as providing directions to drone attacks.
