Wing fences. They're a feature on older planes.
It's also a way of differentiating between JH-7/A: JH-7 has them, JH-7A does not.
Since enough long time 2012 no new units have do transition, curious
The 10 Front line Rgts : 5 AF, 5 Navy each have 24 JH-7 :
JH-7
1998, 6 Naval Avn Div 16 Regt Shanghai/Dachang before ?
2003, 6 Naval Avn Div 18 Regt Yiwu before J-6
JH-7A
2004, 9 Naval Avn Div 27 Regt Ledong before on J-7
2005, 28 Air Div 83 Regt Hangzhou/Jianqiao before Q-5J
2006, 5 Naval Avn Div 14.Regt Yantai/Laishan before Q-5
2007, 5 Air Div 15 Regt Weifang before Q-5
2008, 5 Naval Avn Div 13 Regt Shanhaiguan before Q-5
2009, 11 Air Div 31 Regt Siping before Q-5D
2011, 28 Air Div 84 Regt Jiaxing before Q-5
2012, 110 Air Bde Urumqi before J-7G
And Navy have one Training Rgt to Suizhong 3th Tr. Rgt with on GE 40°17'35.38"N 120°21'34.27"E about 20 JH-7 seems not old in 2014 JH-7 appear not in 2010, any date and sufficient number with 2 others Rgts always on JH-7 coz thinking 51 built

I really like this aircraft. I prefer simple design concepts over complicated ones, such as the Tornado and the Su-24
I like the clean but hulking look of the JH-7, similar look to me as the Jaguar and SOKO Orao.

That must be the reason. The Jaguar and Orao are very attractive aircraft and the JH-7 look like a steroid version of them.
I would like to see a version of the JH-7 utilizing the Lyulka Al-31 or Woshan WS-10
Tornado, Su-24 and F-111 as well, were made decades before JH-7 and they represent the best of available technology in their time. Tornado is the youngest between those three and it would be interesting to compare JH-7 with Tornado, considering that JH-7 is newer design.
Originally, the Chinese wished to incorporate variable wings on the Q-6, which was a sort of spiritual predecessor to the JH-7. However, the design was deemed too complex for the available technological knowhows at the time.
