This is my first post in this forum. I have been following development of J-10 fighter jet for several years. I am curious know whether J-10B/C have any export certification? Will China export J-10B/C to those nations China consider to be an ally and have defense cooperation treaty e.g. Bangladesh? FYI Bangladesh is the second biggest recipient of Chinese military equipment.

The answer is no. There are currently no plans on any exports of J-10s right now. Also the PLA doesn't have enough, so no spare capacity either. Chinese exports are considered on a case by case basis.
Unless and untill J-10B/C engine mystery of foreign or domesic kind is settled, there is zero probablity for export. Whether China has spare capacity for export is entirely different issue.

The JF-17 sports non-Chinese / non-Pakistan engines and it's been exported. China's fighter/trainers all have foreign engines and they are being exported.
It's not about the engines. The J-10B/C is still the top 4th gen fighter within the PLAAF and will be their backbone fighter for a while. That's why they won't export it.

Agreed, but she'd be prettier if she had a WS-10 engine.

First time an PL-10 spotted under an operational J-10AS.
However that serial number makes no sense ???

This appears to be an early design. The rear fins are different from the newer photos including the export PL-10E
