If China already has the know how, then Russia can't complain. The Flankers are one of the best air frame designs and China will utilize it to the best it can. The J-16 is a variant of the Flanker family, but not a "copy" of the Su-30MK2, because engine, electronics, and weapons are different. Su-27, 30, 33, 34 and J-11B, 15, and 16 all belong to the Flanker family, but they are not copies of each other.
