My money says the Canards will fall off and the J-20 becomes a lawn dart!!

It depends how serious they want to develop this technology.According to "The Telegraph" their design is 25 years old.They still can't compete with us.

The fact that its a 25 year old design is not surprising at all. The F22's planning and design began in the early 80's. Lockheed won the contract to build the thing as far back as 1991. It also doesn't matter if they are completely equivalent in performance to our planes either as long as they build and fly more of them. Quantity has a quality all of it's own.
