As for the helicopters, China has agreements with European copter makers and produces them under license. As for the J-10, it is based off the Israeli Lavi, but is larger, has all new avionics, and a different engine/intake. The FC-1 is completely unrelated to the US F-20. China's arj-21 as you can see, has different engines, a differently shaped tail, different size and shape wings from the DC-9. They are not alike at all. The China CS-star is someone's model. No such plane exists, so comparing it is useless. Besides, it does look anything alike. My point is, if it has wings, a tail, engines, and a fuselage, all civilian aircraft of the same class look almost identical. Compare Airbus planes with Boeing if you don't believe me. Just because it is Chinese doesn't make it a copy. The Japanese have copied american and European designs in the past too. This is a great example of people choosing to see what they want to see.

The Chinese are prominent for being copycats. Not just aircraft. Even guns, like the Chinese Type-56 Assault rifle. They also copied designer bags, and sold it with the same logo, but not the same price and authenticity. They copied, designer shoes as well. Are they to be convicted for these? No. Most companies in the world depend on China for Manufacturing, in exchange (with or without their permission) the blue prints for the product is theirs to copy. It’s not Surprising.
