^ Can't have put it better myself, I espicially agree with the part about calling J-20 a demonstrator to avoid discussing its capabilities.

Probably just an "Asian thing". The Japanese were thought to be only capable of producing wooden prop-planes until WWII broke out.

Japanese warships reached an engineering high point during ww-II but alot of the designs were destroyed when it became clear that they will be handed over to the Us, much like the rocket and aircraft tech from Germany.

Yes I agree myself. Although I still like to keep a healthy amount of skepticism against the J-20, I feel this post pretty much sums up the bullcrap the Western media has managed to amass aside from actual relevant, objective criticism of the real deisgn (of which I'm sure there are many, but those are legit)

Interesting how the canard was flipped completely around. It might just be the lighting, but I'm certain it's not the angle, since views from even further behind the plane don't give the canards the illusion of being forward swept. Must be a testing thing.

If you look a little closer, the canard is only slightly flipped up.

I guess I'm seeing it wrong. Picture's worth a thousand words. This is how I'm seeing it.
