It actually doesn't make sense for China to get any of the so called 4.5 generation planes out there like typhoone, Rafale and su-35 even if they are available. If you factor in the export downgrade, the fact that they still can't hope to compete with F-22/35 and the time it would take for these planes to get delivered. Where at the current time, you could continuously upgrade J-10/11 and get them at cheaper cost.
