Is this aircraft named after the Lockheed F-35 or the SAAB J-35? Either way, here's their latest fighter.

Imitation is the highest compliment.

True.

I wonder how similar the J-35 is beyond appearances. Did China steal some tech from L-M?

Do bees buzz?

Well, as I say to my neighbourhood association about porch pirates, property theft needs three things; motivation, means and opportunity. By leaving packages on our insufficiency-guarded porches, we present both the means and opportunity to the already motivated thief.

Same as China's theft of F-35 tech; they're motivated, but only the US government, L-M and its subs can present China with the means and opportunity to access and steal the tech.
