You beat me by a few minutes …
Are there WS-10 J-10C in Northern Theater Command? If so this could be an effort to reduce logistical complexities.

Curious why there are no tandem seat j10c variants in serial production. Anyone know?
Any combat role a two-seat J-10C can fill is filled by the J-16. Training-related roles wouldn't benefit much from having J-10CS instead of J-10S. China, like all real-world entities, has finite resources. Sometimes small optimizations are better not pursued.
why PLAAF does not like to load up their weapons for their fighters? One PL12 and one PL10, really? Didn't they claim to train the same way as they will fight?
What you see in deliberately released photos isn't have to be what a military practices. This is even more true for the PLA. Soldiers with helmets and sunglasses in transport aircraft, spec ops using visible lasers, ships bunched together, all tracer autocannon bursts... Kind of photos militaries love to share... Yet we all know that is definitely not how they operate. We can't make any deductions regarding in-training munitions load from public relations photos.
