> Europe has nothing equivalent to Chinese J-35 or even previous generation J-20.

How many J-35s does China have?

8+ J-35, 1 prototype J-36, 1 prototype J-50 and 250+ J-20. Europe has nothing like that.

Are you talking about manufacturing or operating? Europe has something like 225 F-35 operational right now with more coming.
