3.It would not be equipped with large thrust engine.
Large thrust engine in the sense of the size of the engine or the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine? I.e., is pupu saying it won't be equipped with WS-10/15 (which no one expects) or won't be equipped with WS-19 (which would be shocking)?

It's better translated to high thrust engine, i.e. AL-31/F110 class engine. The commentator pretty much implies that J-35 would be a twin medium engines design (RD-33/F404 class engine).

Let talk about Russian purchase of the J-31E. It's much more affordable than Su-57 and Russia can buy enough in meaningful numbers that their slowing econony can afford. For Russian friend, China can buy one, get one 50% discount if they pre-order before 2020. Exclusive offer!
