Eh, not really.  Their big complaint is the variant of the J-8 chosen was a prototype, not that the J-8 isn't a real plane.  Of course they can complain all they want, but they don't have to worry about the legalities and consequences of acquiring and publishing information the Chinese government doesn't want them too...

Just some corrections to your declarations:

1. The year was 2001, not Y2K.

2. The pilot was Lt. Cdr Wang Wei, not Wing Wei.

3. The J-8 was not barrel rolling or mishandled.  It was flying slow and straight as typically would be for escort.  You can see the video here:
