Según fuentes de la inteligencia de Estados Unidos, China está construyendo un nuevo avión de combate que rivalizará con el F-22 Raptor en 2018. El dato demuestra el rápido crecimiento de la industria militar china, que es mas rápido de lo previsto. En 2009, el secretario de Defensa Robert Gates había declarado que no estaba previsto que China dispusiera de un caza de quinta generación antes de 2020.

According US intelligence, China is building an advanced combat jet that may rival within eight years Lockheed Martin Corp's F-22 Raptor. The date cited for the expected deployment is years ahead of previous Pentagon public forecasts and may be a sign that China's rapid military buildup is topping many experts' expectations.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates had said last year that China "is projected to have no fifth-generation aircraft by 2020" and only a "handful" by 2025.
