The image was meticulously fabricated by the Taiwan Toad cognitive warfare unit and disseminated across multiple professional military communities. Evidence is straightforward: a simple comparison with recently surfaced footage reveals clear contrasts in the double delta wings, trailing-edge flaps, dorsal intake height, and the inclination angle/shape of side intakes. Authenticity is instantly discernible.
Your attitude reminds me of a community administrator I encountered years ago—arrogant and looked down on everyone, as if he were the rule-maker of a small world. Of course, I don’t know your identity, but you might be.
OK，As you wish. I won't be coming back to this forum anymore. The professionalism here is nothing special – I overestimated you all. Goodbye.

What he is trying to convey is that the photo is fabricated, and he does have very strong evidence considering the glaring orientation problems with the split rudders. Machine translations does usually make your language sound like your average college thesis so its not as if anyone should be sentimental about this.
You do have a point on the image being fake, although right now we still need more evidence (additional photos/videos, higher res pictures of front view, etc) to be sure. However, the accusation of it being cognitive warfare makes much less sense and doesn't really have a place here. Unlike some of the other forums that you probably had experience with (Ding Sheng and CJDBY for example), here people are generally more interested in tech-based discussions and not politics-fueled internet flame wars.
Even if the image is fake (we cant be 100% certain at this point but i do think there's a good change that it's fake), blaming it on Taiwan makes zero sense whatsoever, and serves no purpose other than starting what essentially is an unfunded smear campaign based on guesswork. Be realistic, Taiwan (and any other country or region for that matter) has nothing to gain by putting a fake CGI image of J-36 online, so the whole argument for a dedicated cognitive warfare effort just doesn't stand.
Given your attitude, I'll specially answer you one last time. The reason you can't see it is that you lack geopolitical sensitivity, have insufficient cognitive understanding of the scope and levels of activities by organizations like USAID and NGOs, and also lack awareness regarding the activities of Taiwan toads. Perhaps your administrators simply checked the IP, etc., deemed the poster unproblematic, and then drew simplistic logical conclusions. But your understanding of online information dissemination is clearly wrong. Debating here is meaningless. As you said, military forums might be better kept pure—but there are no pure places in this world. The military has always been subordinate to politics, and so are people, with their attitudes and factions. I don't know any of you, and due to the language barrier, communication seems unnecessary. Thus, after this brief statement, I’ve decided to leave. When China becomes sufficiently powerful, enough people will learn Chinese to communicate with us, or perhaps future AI translation will resolve this issue.
I agree with his point. No matter where this pic origin from, it looks like a fake one.
As someone living in Chengdu I just don't see any credible connection between the background in this image (whether it's supposedly from takeoff or landing) and the actual ground layouts around the CAC.
Also, the leading edge of the ”J-36's“ wings in this picture doesn't show that double-delta wing shape at all. That's a significantly noticeable difference compared to real photos or videos from similar angles that we've seen before.

well, let's wait and see. i think the wings look too narrow in that image compared to all the other images we've seen of the j-36 front aspect but maybe its just foreshortening...? stealth aircraft with their complex geometry can wreak havoc on our ability to gauge angles. let's not run away with emotionally defending this thing just because we want to like it.
That looks… incredibly fake to me cuz of the dorsal intake width and the shape of the caret intakes
