China May Be Flight Testing A V/STOL Fighter

"We heard a little chatter about this earlier in the month;
apparently China is test flying its own vertical/short take-off
and landing fighter jet dubbed the J-18. According to my
old colleague Wendell Minnick at Defense News, the jet is
similar in appearance to Russia’s Su-33 carrier based
evolution of Sukhoi’s famous Su-27 line."

I presume this is for their new/old aircraft carrier.
