If J-31 is good. You will have see the 81 star instead of the eagle.. What so work up? J-20 wins the 5th gen competition for PLAAF. Everybody's knows that. J-31 suppose to be an export stealth version offer by PRC. An export version of course is inferior..
Did you see US sells their F-22? No.. They sell an export version called F-35.
J-20 is the best of what PRC has, it will not be export. J-31 will be the one exported.
You are an optimistic guy that's all right. But I think any person with a reasonable mind will know that to believe SAC can make money out of this fifth generation fighter which most potential buyer is still the third world country is way too optimistic. Unlike JF-17 which use all mature technology from J10, SAC has no experience on fifth generation bird, this project needs great invest on R&D by SAC. Besides, it's an twin engine plane which will make it even more expensive.
I don't believe J-31 is for export only. And I extremely don't believe China is capable enough to use inferior technology on its fifth generation fighter. It's just an medium size fifth generation plane which is different from J20, that's all.
And BTW, US also buy F35 for their own force.
