Few years later? Dude, you're severely underestimating Chinese 'reverse-engineering' powers! 
Given China already has decent fighter planes, I don't see the need to buy another fighter plane from a foreign source just for the plane. Heck, I won't be surprised they bought the Sukhois just to dissect them for their tech.
they still left behind (actually, quite far behind) in engine development..even China admitted that their J-11 still inferior to Su-27 in terms of engine system that they have to fitted some of their J-11s with Su-27 engine until now..ruskies still hold the key formula to jet engine technologyGiven China already has decent fighter planes, I don't see the need to buy another fighter plane from a foreign source just for the plane.

even the Z-10 are not solely built by China entity..they got a lot of help from ruskies
