China just introduces a prototype of a new fifth generation fighter aircraft which called "Chengdu J-20". This aircraft is hoped to be a new opponent of F-22 Raptor- the best fighter aircraft in the world.
Well, to produce a fifth generation fighter aircraft, China needs to improve their technology a lot more. Simply because China truly doesn't have the ability to create even a fighter aircraft not a stealth one which requires lot more conditions. According to China, their aircraft will be ready in the year 2020-2025. It seems to be impossible when China can only produce some parts of the aircraft which means they have to import almost 99% of the fighter aircraft. Say so because the J-20 uses two engines named: "WS-10G" which have been shipped from Russia, its design was taken from Russia also.
If China wants to produce a new fighter they need to be sure that they have enough condition to do it.
