Interesting new insights on the J-20 and China's potential sixth gen fighter, coming from a PLAAF Korean War ACE pilot:

What do you think of China’s new J-20 stealth aircraft?
I was invited to watch the J-20’s first flight at Chengdu, and I asked the engineers a few questions. Fighter aircraft seem to have reached their maximum limits. Whether the aircraft is made in the U.S. or Russia, there is not much difference between the latest aircraft from these countries. Further development is limited by the physical stress a pilot’s body can tolerate. The U.S. is leading the way in the use of unmanned aircraft. I think there is a role for unmanned aircraft in China.
