I wouldnt put much stock in Chinas 5th gen fighter, from what I've seen most experts believe that their first attempt at a 5th gen fighter is probably a 4th gen fighter with a really cool body kit. It also looks like they lack the ability to replicate Russian 5th gen radar reflective materials, and engines. They are expected to be using a 20 year old engine design in this model, which would struggle to be competative with our 4th gen fighters. This aircraft, from what people are reporting should be slightly less capable than our f-14, f-15, f-16 and f-18.
