J-11B which is said to be better than the best SU-30 variants and comparable to late model F-15s, although I doubt the latter claim.so what is the most advanced jet in China's arsenal besides the j20?
F-16 E/F
Its combat capabilities are vastly inferior to its dual engine counterparts like the Eurofighter and Rafale. Single engine crafts are often cheaper (both due to engine count/maintenance and frame costs), less reliable, slower and have shorter combat range. These jets have no offensive capability and are mainly for interception hence its export demand.
It won't be until this J-20 hype comes into service, will we see if China has surpassed Europe in military aviation. (even though the engine is likely to be Russian for quite a while)
source, look alike?

which area? aivonics, BV capability, multipul target engagement capability or its radar?

^J-11B do not sport AESA yet. The F-15 already does however.
Well, most westerns consider the two "front line fighters" china produced (the JF-17 and the J-10A/B) as roughly equivalent to the F-16 A/B and F-16 C/D blk 30/40 at most.
The canards do not mean super agility by themselves. We have yet to see the J-10 in Sukhoi like stunts.
The canards are control surfaces and provide advantages only if the design of the airframe has inherent traits.
AESA doesn't mean much as a feature if it isn't good, MiG-35 has an AESA and although good, it doesn't outperform the F-16 blk 52+ conventional radar performance and it definitely doesn't outperform the EF2000 captor radar.
I see the J-10B as a good front line fighter, slightly les capable than the F-16, but if you can buy 2 J-10s for the price of one F-16 and it has the same reliability then it is more than good.

i already post this pictureI think this pic has been posted several times on PDF
i past china use j-7g
which had cft

What like the useless Cobra?The canards do not mean super agility by themselves. We have yet to see the J-10 in Sukhoi like stunts.

The J-10A, I'd say is at least as capable as the Block 40 F-16. In terms of airframe, powerplant, avionics and weaponry.I see the J-10B as a good front line fighter, slightly les capable than the F-16,
but if you can buy 2 J-10s for the price of one F-16 and it has the same reliability then it is more than good.
Less capable than the F-16?
Name a fighter that has 1200 modules for AESA, has extensive redesigns for stealthiness, considerable amount of RAM, 50% lightweight materials, 132 kN engine, solid state integrated electronics.
