Is it the J-10 or F-10? I forget, but in any event, how capable are these jets supposed to be? My initial guess without specific knowledge would be that it's the standard deal of possibly a bit better than our F-16C and F-15C in certain situations but no match for a Raptor.

Chinese designation is J-10, sometimes 'translated' to F-10.

Ahhh, that makes. I was always confused about why they would have two such similar designs.

I've read several different sources that have indicated the J-10 is comparable to the F-16. The below link is a good source of information on the plane. Although it was intended to be a completely indigenous project, the Chinese could only pull it off with help from the Israelis and the Russians.

Aren't they also developing a locally built version of the Su-27/33? (Called the J-11?)

Correct. More Chinese avionics and systems, plus an increase in the use of composites and improvements in the radar cross section. Also being fitted with locally designed weapons over Russian ones.
