Competitor actually. It was one of the main candidate of the Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program but it was rejected in favor of the the General Dynamics Model 401-16B which evolved into the YF-16.
Love how everyone buys in to the stereotype that the Chines steal and copy everything from everyone else when the US and most western power have been doing that long before China was even a independent sovereign nation IE pre WW2
I mean come on ppl the sole reason for Wright Paterson AFB in Ohio is to do just that. Copy and reverse engineer any aircraft and equipment they get their hands on ... :/
