a) The PAF won't be getting J-31s in 2020 (the plane won't be ready by then)LOL - Pakistan will start getting the J-31 around 2020 and that will totally outclass ANYTHING
that India has.
b) The J-XXs (J-31 and J-20) are not going to be superior to the mature plaforms of the Super Su or Rafale (F4+)
The b point will be contenious for all Chinese fanboys but anyone outside their fan club knows that whilst the J-XXs shells look very nice the internals (propulsion and avionics) are going to be DECADES behind the West/Russians. Today China's actual design and development success is very modest and they are facing difficulties operationalising even those designs they have stolen (Flankers and Lavi).
