Well Chinese do have their own variant plane J11 , the Sukhois are used in China with Sukhoi designations , J11 is a completely Chinese 100% chinese engineering it might look like Sukhoi but it not Sukhoi its a bit better
what are u talking abt ...............
The basic variant of the J-11 is manufactured under license by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) using Russian-supplied kits, and is functionally identical to the Su-27SK variant. An "indigenized" multirole variant, the J-11B, is based on the J-11 airframe but fitted with a Chinese-built avionics and weapons suite.
The reason which lead to the sudden stop in the production line of the J-11 was the obsolete avionics and radar, which were structured for aerial missions. This was an issue in which the PLAAF evaluated after the first 100 J-11 were built, in that it lacked any true precision-strike capabilities, only being able to deliver unguided freefall bombs. With a contract of an initial 200 J-11 allowed to be produced in Shenyang under the Chinese-Russian contract made in the 90's, the PLAAF decided to modernize the J-11 with domestic radar, avionic suites, manufacture methods and material upgrades to extend the life of the aircraft in service.
