It indeed doesn't have guns ( for now) or the slated engines ( for now). But how does that make the fighter not designed to be a dogfighter? I would reserve all comments about the fighter considering that it is a development in progress ( batches).
And in order to argue about T/W , do you know the weight of J-20? The Tsinghua paper that Wiki uses categorizes its weight ( air combat, max takeoff etc as a good 2-4 tons less than F22)
Do compare with the openly available numbers for both the aircraft.
There are various weight estimates extant. I'm going with 18500 kg (others feature 17500 kg, and we know the notorious 15000 kg) for empty weight. There's a claimed 11500 kg fuel capacity, so we can do a weight estimate for T/W from there.
As to whether the aircraft is NOT designed to be a dogfighter, the point is that dogfights are increasingly obsolete due to the prevalence of HOBS all-aspect missiles. The USAF has described dogfighting as "knife fighting in a phone booth"; i.e, even if you win, you're likely badly wounded, and for a high-cost heavyweight fighter like the J-20 it's not what you want.
When you consider heavyweight fighters vs lightweight fighters, the primary difference in the 4th generation (although less so in the 5th) is that heavyweight fighters excel BVR due to their large radar size. They're all designed to have "good" dogfighting performance in case an opponent actually get close, but they want to win BVR because they're not trading off cost effectively WVR.
Hell, even the F-22 doesn't want to dogfight. It's simple, in a BVR situation, you have a strong chance of scoring lopsided kill ratios of at least 2:1. In a WVR situation, on the other hand, it gets closer to 1:1 provided both sides have HOBS and comparable pilot skill. The F-22 utilizing its TVC is basically wasting itself in a dogfight because it stands a chance of dying, whereas if it's doing stuff BVR, it can exploit its stealth and sensors and if it doesn't score a decisive victory, it can always choose to run.
The same applies to the J-20. The J-20 is NOT a Su-57, which is designed as a dogfighter. The Su-57, in contrast to the J-20, has highly inferior stealth and desperately wants to get close to try to exploit its agility. Moreover, it uses a DIRCM system to try to foil HOBS missiles, but whether that'd work (or simply spur countermeasures using multi-mode seekers) is in question. On the other hand, it claims to be extremely cheap (likely because they're subsidizing fixed costs), so it can be cost-effective in a dogfight.

The entire point I'm making, and one point that really riles up fanboys here, is that dogfighting is either dead or suicidal. The J-20 is designed to be capable in a dogfight, but like all serious heavyweight fighters, it wants to settle things at as far a distance as effective, because then it can exploit its supersonic agility advantages without entering a "knife fight in a phone booth".

We're not discussing aerodynamics, we're just discussing specifications of the J-20 (T/W) as well as theoretical factors (why dogfighting is not a decisive advantage for a heavyweight fighter).
