Other little things like the engine coal flaps project rearwards from the fuselage & airframe envelope (thus larger radar and heat return signatures) ...in other words it not a very good copy.
There is lots wrong with this Chinese version ...things that the US designers would have worked and overcome very well. This you can be assured.
