I don't want to start another heated discussion... but can't help but note that the Su-35 deal is NOT final, as I suspected. He should be in a position to know the status the deal if the deal has been finalized and the manufacturers had publicly announced it...

It is unclassified in that he can discuss some of these difficulties with getting the J-20 up to speed as a mature aircraft, I'm sure there are people who will be a little more that "ticked off" that he has "shared" this information.

However each of these concerns have been thouroughly and well discussed on the Sino Defense Forum, I personally have pointed out the difficulty of the FCS, and getting this to all function together, in every flight regime, it is a nightmare, in spite of the fact that a fellow poster stated he could bring the FCS up to speed with little trouble, it is complex. It all takes time, talent, and treasure!

But it *is* serious. The FCS is a very interesting point.

Yes, I have from the beginning reminded fellow members of the complexity of the FCS, and getting it to function in each flight regime, and those transitions without "glitches" it is a spiders web of function?

yes sir, the J-20 is a very serious entry into the 5th gen arena, but there no doubt remain many challenges, but the airframe is likely in its LRIP configuration, and I would expect few changes as long as some anomoly is not identified!

That's just the registered capital, the total asset of a Chinese company is usually much much much larger than its registered capital.

Registered capital is actually misleading. You either have authorised capital which is the maximum value of shares that a company can issue or paid up capital which is the actual shares issued that are paid up and represent true financial commitment. Registered capital is frankly misleading and not professionally used.
