China’s 2nd Type 055 Destroyer ‘Lhasa’ 拉萨 Commissioned With PLAN

F-5E is basically an old design without much changes compare to F-5A freedom fighter. The layout are very similar.

I think they shall be quite confident first will delivered by end of 2021. And I expect COMAC to stock up 40 leap 1c engine to ensure 2 years of C919 supply for airliner without disruption even with sanction.
I dont think you can called a fighter fitted with high level of composite, single structural fuselage, DSI inlet, 3 large LCD glass cockpit fitted with advanced Doppler pulse radar and fourth gen avionics that is capable of BVR, multi role fighter like JL-9G as simple trainer.
JL-9G is a fourth gen fighter/trainer.. Using many composite on its fuselage, high angle of attack. It can used to train on many situation of stalling. A dangerous training subject used to avoid by AF.
The quality will be better but I doubt PLAN would build 10 CVN. China will aim for 4 modern carriers and decommission CV-16 and CV-17. To maintain 10 CVN is too much.
China paid for the design of Su-27 series and are free to twit for any changes. Even the Mig-21 design are gift by Soviet union to China and F-7 ,J-9L are all legal modification planes from that series.
