You have your opinion and i have mine, and i think it should be wise not to believe ones opinion is inherently superior hence all others are to be disparaged. Pro and co argumentation is of course welcomed and in fact necessary on a defence forum, because that's what's discussed on such places mostly, military strategy.
Having said that, my opinion might be" ill-informed", but probably better to aim such characterization first at the services and navies that are or will operate F-35Bs from various ships, many smaller than the 076 or even 075s. Despite it's inherent limitations in payload and range, VTOL fighters are obviously seen as necessary to be had rather than not by who has the tech and who can afford it, giving a great tactical boost to ships that otherwise could only carry helos (except the brits, they were obviously drunk when they designed the QEs). The AESA radars and A-A/A-G missiles on a VTOL are just as advanced as land-based counterparts hence practically as lethal, while bringing their capabilities to the operational area that otherwise would not be possible by just helo-equipped LHAs or are too many for conventional CVs to cover. Not to mention of course the air defence capability provided.
Now, what J-35 would offer on Sichuan in comparison is an inherently superior platform compared to F-35B because it does not compromise for the VTOL requirement, so more range, more payload, more performance. This would also be another way for PLAN to having a superior fighter platform compared to the opponent flying from the respective LHAs.
Anyway, i think what PLAN will do with Sichuan in the next few years will clearly show what they chose, so it will be wise to wait until then before passing judgement on the undesirability of J-35 or even notional VTOL fighter on PLAN's LHAs (actually, come to think of it, i think PLAN needs both, but i'll address that in the 075 topic at some point).
