China's cutting-edge airplanes proved a big draw at the ongoing 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai on Saturday, leaving spectators in awe with their breathtaking stunt flights.

The J-35A, China's new medium-sized stealth fighter jet which made its debut at the airshow, also known as Airshow China, together with another China's domestically-developed stealth fighter jet J-20 wowed spectators with thrilling aerobatic performances.

The J-20, also called the Mighty Dragon, is the country's fifth-generation medium and long-range fighter jet. It is a twinjet all-weather stealth aircraft developed for China's Air Force.

The Red Falcon Aerobatic Team also amazed visitors with their air stunts at the event.

The Red Falcon Aerobatic Team was formed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force in 2011. It consists of jet-powered Nanchang JL-8 trainers.

The event is the largest air show in the country. Held from Nov 12 to 17 in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, the event showcases an impressive lineup of military hardware while offering a glimpse into the latest achievements in the modernization of the Chinese military.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) lowered its forecast for global oil demand growth this year for the second month in a row, citing the prospects for weakening demand in non-OECD economies.

In its monthly oil market report released on Thursday, the Vienna-based oil group projected that global oil demand in 2026 will rise by 970,000 barrels per day from 2025 levels, down from the 1.17 million-barrel growth forecast in its May report and the 1.38 million forecast in April.

The downward revision, according to the report, was driven primarily by reduced demand expectations from non-OECD countries.
