Interesting. Is that a WS-10B engine?

Yes.
What a Canadian aurora is doing there anyway ? Burning my tax dollars in fuel while saying that i have to ditch my petrol car.

Why ask when you've voted in that government? But then again, regardless whichever party be the ruling government, this will happen anyway.
But, in my opinion the PLAAF should've send the J-11B to make that intercept and "do the scalpel", as the J-11B can do without one fin, whereas J-10 can't. Do it once, and RCAF will learn to stay well away from Chinese airspace.

Sure seems like the Chinese have not learned from the Hainan Island Incident despite repeatedly using that incident to highlight the "bravery" of its pilots.
Maneuvers like this will only push NATO countries to take a harder line; we shouldn't be surprised if the next Aurora shows up with a pair of CF-188s alongside it.
This will continue as long as other nations outside of the region continue projecting power in proximity to Chinese population/economic/industrial centers without strategic reciprocity or strategic equality.
Meanwhile, until that occurs, confrontational strategic and operational deployments will be met with confrontational tactical deployments by the Chinese side in response.

I don't recall the J-10s doing this right off Vancouver. And what is the Aurora doing thousands of nautical miles away from Canada and right on China's doorstep?
Those CF-188 pilots better learn some Chinese before coming over here, then. Who knows, they might need it when staying at a detention center on the mainland.

As long as those CF-188s are still operational and they dare to operate them so far from Canada.
Funny if in future you see large PLAAF drones with "reinforced" detachable tails.
Just use katana mounted on a pylon.
