China's J-20 Stealth Fighter Performs at Airshow China 2016

The Japanese Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force's Joint Strike Fighter 35, Lightening II, is no longer considered the dominant air superiority element in the South East Asian region.

The Chinese J20 has been introduced to the world in the official Chinese Air Force Air show in 2016.

With the simmering tensions within the South China Sea in recent months the Chinese are no longer intimidated by the Japanese and Australian Generation Five Joint Strike Fighter air supremacy.

Whilst the JSF35 and F22 Raptor are now fully operational, the J20 is some years behind the JSF35 elements within region until 2018, when the first fully operational squadrons of J20 will then give the Chinese Air Force actual air supremacy parity with the respective regional Air Forces with the JSF35 apart from the USAF's F22 and JSF35 already deployed within the South East Asian region.

Presently, within the South East Asian region, the USAF base Andersen, in Guam, remains the permanent scramble point of departure for the F22 Raptor and future squadrons of JSF35 for the United States Air Force,
