Shengyang also developed J11d and J16. I've admit they lack of the motivation and creativity as ChengDu has. But You shall not call FC31 a crap, that's little bit over the top.
I admit J-11d, J-15 and J-16 are pretty good. That's because Su-27 were very good in the beginning.
May be calling FC-31 a crap is over the top. I have to admit.
I have no liking of it, when it was first shown carrying on a truck covered up with a tarp. It may still be developed into something decent, if Shenyang put some thoughts into it. But that requires a new design team and a new leadership.
It has two engines, and its not burdened with ridiculous design requirements like F-35. So there is still some hope, I admit.
