After seeing all the missiles and uav, China's manned air force advances shown in the parade look underwhelming in comparison. Nothing truly ground breaking stuff that is so cutting edge that no one else has it. Manned Air force stuff is mostly catching up to US.

They're showing off the most advanced carrier-based AWACS plane, the most advanced carrier-based EW plane, the most advanced fifth generation plane, the only two-seater fifth generation plane in the world, and two brand new fifth generation models! I think that you're just spoiled by all the other goodies. This is astonishing stuff, but the impact is lessened because we've known about these planes for some time now.

Hopefully they get WS-15 and WS-19 on J-20 and J-35 ASAP, IMO it's basically the only downer compared to US 5th gen.
