It is a variant of Mig-21. The text here did not acknowledge it but most Chinese documentation has. The reason it is not a 100% Mig-21 was that it was supposed to be a licensed Mig'-21 manufactured in China but work on it was halted and the Soviets withdrew all technical support after the break-up in relationship. So the Chinese had to go it alone from there using engines and avionics available and that also means development was longer without Soviet assistance. Except for the airframe lookalike, there's plenty in there that is not the same as the Mig-21 you see in Soviet satellite countries.

Look at any "Chinese" plane. You'll find they all look like Soviet planes (with the exception of the AIDC Ching Kou which is taiwanese)
