China Airshow 2014, Zhuhai, China
Last week I visited the 10th China Airshow held at Zhuhai airport in the South of China. This time the Chinese showed off some interesting hardware and although the weather is challenging there (humid, fog, cloudy) I still got some nice results.
1. The new J-31 is also being marketed as the F-60
2. Shaanxi KJ200 AEW platform
3. The Ilyushin KJ2000 was a very welcomed surprise
4. The new Chinese transport plane, the Xian Y-20
5. this Y-9 was present at the static
6. Sukhoi Su-35 taking off.
7. Also present the "August 1st" team with their J10's
8. and also the Russian Knights

Here a few more from this years event:
9. Yes, also the Chinese have drones of which this GJ-1 is already in operational use
10. The J10's of the "August 1st" team are always nice to watch.
11. The H-6M is the basic bomber in the PLAAF inventory
12. The CRJ-700 is used by the 第34运输机师 based at Beijing-Xijiao for VIP transport for the PLAAF
13. J-31 in a dirty flyby
14. The Y-20 side on. It is a pretty big airplane as you can see compared to the people behind it next to the taxiway.

I think the Y20 looks like the Japanese C1 more than a C17 to me.

Smashing set of images from behind the "Bamboo Curtain" it does however seem that the Chinese, like they with their copy-cat cars, seem to copy designs from the West
