Oedo just noted:

中国航空工業が今年11月6日から11日まで珠海で開催予定のエアショーチャイナ2018ですべて公開可能の飛行機を出展する、二つの第五世代機も登場する。世界から注目されている「20シリーズ」は集団で公開する可能性も高い。

Two fifth generation aircraft which China exhibits all open air planes with Airshow China 2018 scheduled to be held in Zhuhai from November 6 to 11 this year will also appear. There is a high possibility of releasing "20 series" attracting attention from all over the world.

Do you think they will create an FC-20 for sale? Honestly I don't see why not sell it if PLAAF can still get all the orders they want without delay. The only real challenge apart from money is the political fallout. You can't just sell full spec 5th gen fighters to anyone without their neighbours and traditional adversaries getting very upset.

FC-20 terminology was used in the agreement with PAF for J10s....

I don't think there will be an export-J-20 but I interpret this post as a hint that the FC-31 will be shown.

From The Pillars of a Great Power (大国重器), a segment about the production of metamaterials (between 41:00 and 43:30).

This is then discussed in a

(The Sina article concludes that the technology is already in use on the J-20, which may not be true.)

Honestly we are just discussing that issue ... and Tom - being a brilliant author and even more artist - can be quite stubborn sometimes.
I already told him that they are wrong, either the J-11, J-8 and JH-7s are way too large (these three match together quite fine) but all others are even more too small in comparison. Right now we are discussing how to handle this, what source is correct for what type and so on .... and after that I really don't think that I can persuade him to add additional types.

I will show You the latest corrected preview when I won this battle ... and I will fight hard !

I think on a poster like that, being scaled correctly is important but it's just my humble opinion especially if it's 49 euros .:)

Indeed; I fully agree with you.

However I must admit, I lost that fight ...:(
