ZHUHAI, China -- China's newest stealth fighter jet debuted at an air show here Tuesday, as the country put its military technologies on display.

     The J-31, which bears resemblances to the latest American F-35 stealth fighter, was showcased on the opening day of the biennial China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, or Airshow China. Although still under development, China apparently has its sights set on beginning mass production within five years.
