China's fire control x-band AESA certified last year

It was reported officially on 22 March 2009. It completed evaluation flights, National Technical Assessmment in 2008, and was granted the 1st Class of China's National Defence S&T Award in 2008. It is intended for China's 5th generation jetfighters but now equiped on 4th fighters.

do you have any evidence for this? This would be a major news, so it would lend more credibility to your claims if you have some support.

技术创新鼓足跨越发展强劲动力
34岁就当上副所长、38岁出任一把手的张昆辉,具有创新的思维、超前的意识、超常的智慧、非凡的胆识。他科学决策,精心组织,带领科技人员紧紧追踪世界先进技术的脚步,攻克了一道又一道技术难关。
他始终认为:雷达研制是一个复杂的高科技领域,其新概念、新技术、新设计方法的预研技术水平,不仅是确保未来武器装备性能优劣的关键,也是体现雷电院是否具有长远发展潜力的重要标志,是雷电院参与市场竞争的重要因素。为此,他常常告诉自己也告诫科技人员:我们是弱者,我们是在和大象竞争:因为国外发展了几十年,而我们才刚刚进入轨道;国内同行是院士领着博土干,拥有完善的机构、齐全的研发手段作支撑,而我们没有;我们的底子薄,不能一步一步照着人家的路走,因而必须创新,必须用敏锐的市场观察力瞄准机会跑步前进!
他早在2000年前就认为,相控阵雷达是未来雷达发展的新方向,是雷达领域的制高点,雷电院必须竭尽全力攻克这个堡垒。2001年,他就明确提出要自主研发相控阵雷达。当时,大家有不同意见,但他始终坚持自己的观点,耐心说服,经三次办公会充分研究,终于达成共识。
为了早日摘取相控阵雷达这颗雷达“皇冠”上的明珠,他除了亲自主持总体预研课题研究外,还果断决定抽调相关专业部分优秀技术骨干,成立新技术工作组,从未来武器装备需求及研制顶层设计入手,集中精力和技术人力,联合攻关,突破新一代雷达所涉及的每一个关键技术。
2008年,具有完全自主知识产权的相控阵火控雷达,在圆满完成了某飞机的验证试飞后,雷电院向部队机关和集团公司做了汇报,在军方引起了强烈反响,并受到军方各级领导的高度关注。空军景文春副司令专程到无锡了解情况、听完汇报后说:“当初×代机立项时,我有两点担忧,一是发动机问题,二是相控阵雷达问题。今天看来,雷达问题已经解决了,我们已经有了自己的相控阵雷达”。空军首长和空装首长的关注,给了雷电院极大鼓舞和鞭策。该项目在完成它机验证试飞后,原国防科工委在北京组织召开了成果鉴定会,与会专家在认真了解试飞情况后给与了高度评价:“相控阵雷达研制,开创了国内机载火控雷达的新纪元,填补了国内X波段相控阵火控雷达的空白,为我国×代机的研制打下了坚实基础,标志着我国第×代战斗机提升战斗力的时机已经到来”。此项目还荣获该年度国家国防科技成果一等奖。
事实证明:张昆辉这步“技术创新”之棋走得至关重要,睿智甚至英明。相控阵雷达的开发成功,鼓足了雷电院跨越发展的强劲动力,奠定了雷电院在行业的地位,核心竞争力得以提升,抢回了曾经失去的时间,缩短了与国际机载雷达的技术差距,使雷电院一跃成为国内机载雷达行业的排头兵。
it came from this link, looks pretty official. And just reading this article in its context, I'm pretty sure it's talking about AESA radar. There is not much more here than what the original poster said.

Well Huitong's changed PESA back to AESA again...
"and fire-control radar is thought to be an X-band AESA developed by the 607 Institute"
I suppose it could lend a bit of credibility to the claim.

AESA is a lot more consistent in line with the strengths of the Chinese electronics industry along with their rare metal resources. China is a top producer of Gallium Arsenide for example.

additional brief detail, the radar was first tested in F-8F.
but remember, french RBE-1 was also PESA.
but we can not rule out ,that the article may be refering to AESA, right after the news, that India is obtaining russian equip AESA for Mig-35.PAF request AESA from China,(after trying to obtain Thales's AESA was blocked by the US),possible that China may have brief Pakistan about there own progress in the development of AESA radar.
