At this point the PAF should take up the PLAAF as a student in the art of PR:
A far cry from those crummy PLAAF videos with shaky, inconsistent footage and set to the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. Comparing PLAAF-sanctioned videos to this one is like upgrading from J-10A to J-10C.

They shot one... With J20. Most of the videos are snipets from cctv. Some fan made.

See the camera on the side of the ejection seat below? There will be another just like it on the other side.
Guess what they are for.
More high-resolution images.
I'm seeing a whole bunch of nice promotional videos made by PAF on J-10C. The Pakistanis might be selling this plane better than China is. After NK gets a few used J-10As, maybe the next export destination for J-10C will be Bangladesh. Typically the 2nd largest buyers of Chinese weapons.
That’s what most Chinese people on Weibo think as well. After watching some of those promo videos you’d think that Pakistan is trying to sell the bird to China.
@tphuang my bet is Algeria and then Egypt (both Muslim countries), In Asia Thailand BUT having Gripen in its inventory the backlash will be immense as the only country having 2 canards type aircraft in its inventory.

According to an unverified anecdote, the PLAAF was initially wary of inducting the Q-5 Fantan. They did so only after a PAF pilot undertook a test flight of the aircraft, during which he completely wowed the Chinese audience with maneuvers that nobody thought was possible with the plane, including flying inverted.
