What exactly is it? Is it a clone of the discarded Israeli Lavi? Or is it a copy of the Russian Mig 29 upgrade? We know that nobody takes it seriously as a potential threat, the so called Fighter China(FC- 20). The Chinese were so secretive about it, one did not know whether they were making a Condom or a Fighter Aircraft? The Americans arent so secretive about the F-22 Raptor, neither are the Russians so cagey about the the Mig-35 . Or the Eurofighter or the Rafael. Why the hype about the FC-20? Certainly the buyers are not queing up for the FC-20/JF-17, China has no clients but for Pakistan.
