it;s part of a multimedia movie and game universe, where aliens invade earth in the 2030's and a China dominated global defense effort fights back with advanced fighters and reverse engineered alien technology and weapons.

The "geological disaster crisis" and the invasion of alien aircraft that began in the 2030s were the first time that human society realized that the survival of civilization would face an unprecedented threat. Human beings have achieved victories again and again by virtue of their superb combat command art and tenacious fighting spirit, but in the face of threats, they need a long-term plan. Therefore, China proposed the "Nantianmen Plan" in the 2040s to build a unified international society. military power.

The fact is that is has been spread across many media. I first discovered it on a Spanish general newspaper last week and found more international entries after a search with Google.

China's White Emperor 6th Generation Fighter Has Arrived

White Emperor is expected to have low maintenance requirements and could be cheaper to fly than other stealth airplanes in the Chinese fleet. This means it may someday complete more missions per month than the stealthy J-20 and the planned J-35A.

China's answer to the Top Gun's Dark Star. It was designed as a 'technological vision' of the future.
