Yes, that mockup definitely have swept-wings.
But if you mean variable swept wing (like those found on the F-14 and Tu-22M), then there is no way to be sure at present (though I think the case of variable swept wing to be unlikely).

Posted here as a more appropriate thread.
Now with the wings of the GJ-11 mockups folded. Also seen are the clearer markings of the supposed parking positions for the GJ-11 on the 076's flight deck.
Compared to the previous photograph, the two mockups are seen parked one after the other, with the front one likely parked at the EMCAT launch position, with markings likely representing a jet blast deflector (JBD) seperating it and the mockup behind.

Had a feeling it was the first paper on that link I gave in the other thread, glad to see someone was able to get access to it. The design interests me very much.
interesting update here on CCA in America
Some of which makes me wonder what's going on with China's own program
So as someone that skipped out of PLA stuff for many years, I've wondered why something like GJ-11 still appears to be as hard to spot as the legendary"big foot" after this many years. Is it just a matter of GJ-11 being really important program that not more info have come out? With J-20A and J-20S going through testing right now, you would think pairing them up with wingman is something they'd want to do as part of developing tactics and such.
Is it possible that they've evaluated something like GJ-11 for a while and have decided that the future warfare required something larger or more stealthy? Is it a case where they are waiting on certain engine or subsystem to be ready before going further into it?

It could be a WS-15 situation where some requirements were met midway through development, so they now have an even higher requirement than previously set.
You sure those arent J11s parked sideways?
