From what I've seen of the J-20, It looks pretty slap-dash. The engine intakes and exhausts look fairly straightforward, and seeing as how even the now-retired F-14 could identify targets from compressor blade radar returns, I don't think the j-20 can be considered fully stealth.

That said, I think the real worry for the US going up against China in an air battle is the large and capable force of J-10 and J-11 that China is fielding.
F-22 is supreely capable, but few in number. And I can't help but see the F-35 as a straight-up disappointment.

Hardly a likely scenario to play out, mind. A Chinese housing bubble is something to properly worry about.
