J-35

The J-35 is a fifth-generation fighter jet developed by China. It is newsworthy due to China's efforts to market it in the Asia-Pacific region, where it faces competition from the US F-35 and potentially cheaper alternatives. Military analysts suggest that political and economic factors, in addition to performance, will influence potential buyers. The J-35's appearance at the Singapore Airshow highlights China's ambition to export advanced military technology. Separately, advancements in Chinese semiconductor technology, specifically gallium oxide, could potentially give Chinese radar systems a significant advantage over US systems, impacting the broader military technology landscape. This technological advancement, along with the J-35's market presence, underscores China's growing capabilities and influence in military technology and defense markets.
