Yes, but Garze is within Sichuan province, so definitely not Tibet proper.
Yes, it is a stretch, and no we have no reason to suspect that at all.
There's no way of guessing how much lighter structure is due to tech. Volume of J20 is roughly 20% bigger than that of F22. Various subsystem weight are impossible to calculate. So we're pretty much in the dark and we will probably remain so for years if not a decade. I personally would be surprised J20 is any lighter than F22 but with no way of proving anything it's just a personal bet.

From what I've heard the Chinese military is doing high altitude testing . Interesting how they landed it in a place where civilians might see it easily. I know that there are many duel-use airports in China but... Isn't the J-20 too important for them?
And wheels of all cars have the same shape, round? BMW or Peugeot?
But what is there to copy really if one can not get the original SW code and HW's internal wire diagram?Only idiot answer, fake and/or meaningless arguments and now in more you go for bias, your not honnest, serious again less fair... pffffff
It is the "2011" only in 2014 which is the first J-20 proto with the EOTS, soo undoubtedly Chinese can, have time for copied...i don' t say have do...
Contrary to what general population may think, the idea of something is not that difficult to come up, that is to say the shape of of EOTS, or the wanted functionality. The real challenge, therefor the real valuables worth to copy, is the details of implementation. The devil is inside.
That is what I know from years of real life R&D, HW&SW architecture. Steve Jobs can just say "I want a phone with touch, zoom and sweep". Any one of us can come up with it. But It costs years of hundred engineers to make it actually work. Steve won't make that idea a secret except for commercial reasons. But he surely guarded the lab where the engineers worked like NSA guarding their secrete. One of my friends works in smart phone brand, he told me that every company has similar ideas in their road maps, none of them say it, the only thing they really care to "spy/know" is the time table and specification of their competitors.
