Actually I don‘t think even if the visa-restrictions were dropped for Germans as far as I remember … do you plan to go there?
Specifically, a real J-35AE
Is it not super difficult to get tickets?
Tickets for the Zhuhai Airshow can be purchased months in advance. Of course, the official organizers will also release limited-time tickets later on, which you'll need to snag during specific time windows.
If you'd rather avoid the nerve-wracking ticket scramble, it's best to buy your tickets early.
If you're only interested in watching the flight demonstrations, purchasing tickets for the Golden Phoenix Terrace is sufficient. For a multi-day visit, you can buy one day's ticket for the Airshow Center and another day's ticket for the Golden Phoenix Terrace viewing area.

Referring to the 2024 event, ticket sales commenced on September 19th, with the airshow running from November 12th to 17th.
We typically purchase tickets through the WeChat mini-program, which refreshes a limited number of tickets available for snatching at fixed times each day.
As always I think hoping for engine details or official information is wishful thinking (maybe 10 years after it has mass production commenced).
Some imo plausible showcases that would be useful are:
- Y-20B static display
- J-20A/J-20S and/or J-35/A flyby -- a static display for these would of course be even more useful
Something that might be viable when considering the timespan of their introduction, would be if the 5th gen fighters did a flyby and showcased some of the newer weapons that we know they have in service.
This could include PL-16, though I'm also interested in various A2G weapons that we know J-20 should be compatible with (as well as J-20A/S, J-35/A) such as SDB pattern PGMs and their internal carriage JSM equivalent.
Now, I don't think there's anything sensitive about any of their planforms that would restrict revealing them; it is more just about doing so in a high profile way that might make them more reluctant and might wait until 2028 instead.
