I find Y-20 as distinct as from the C-17 as it is from the IL-76 thanks to its hump on the fuselage in front of the wings. People won't have trouble telling them apart.
Need some help: I'm looking for a well written background of the Y-20 written by a Russian - I think Moscow Defence Analyst - who reported about the Xi'an - Antonov cooperation, consultations, early An-70 based considerations and so on !! 
Sadly I did not marked that link.

I have little doubt that antonov was involved on this. I dont think that china could have pulled this off without outside help. The question is, how much of this effort was from outside, and how much was chinese? This article makes it believe that all effort was from antonov. How credible is it?

What else is new? It's our favorite China Aeronautics bashing boy David Axe who wrote the article to please the naysayers fan.

It only happens to India, India has a little bargaining power. it won't happen to China ..... Remember IL76 fiasco ? China would simply cancel it
