Middle East Shifts Focus to Chinese 5th gen Fighter J-20 Fighter Amid US F-35 Disapproval

Following the U.S. refusal to grant the United Arab Emirates access to the F-35 Lightning II, a cutting-edge fifth-generation fighter, the UAE appears to be exploring alternative options, potentially turning to China to fulfill its security requirements. The aircraft that has captured the UAE's interest is China's own fifth-generation stealth fighter, the J-20.
A significant factor behind the U.S. denial stems from Israel's longstanding security strategy, which revolves around maintaining military superiority in the region. Israel has historically sought advanced military technology from the U.S. while discouraging its neighbors from acquiring similar capabilities. This strategy aims to uphold Israel's dominant position in regional military affairs, with support from U.S. and European military equipment.
The influence of the U.S. in the Palestine-Israel conflict significantly impacts defense exports in the region, leading many Asian and Middle Eastern countries to seek military equipment from alternative sources like Russia and China.
Recent engagements between the UAE and China indicate a growing partnership, potentially extending to military cooperation. With the UAE's interest in Chinese aircraft like the J-20, following the setback with the F-35, there's speculation that the UAE may increasingly turn to China for its defense needs. This shift is evident with the UAE's acquisition of the Chinese Falcon L-15 advanced trainer aircraft.

Worst choice

[@Sunopeek]

The choice is between No F35 or maybe a J20.
Either they get nothing from the US, or they get something from China.
