Probably not as this serial seems to be a continuation of the "200X" and "201X" prototype serial scheme. 202X most likely means this is the first example in the second batch of prototypes.
200X is the 0th testing batch. 201X is the 1st testing batch. And now the 202X is the 2nd testing batch. At least that's how I interpret it.
No, it is only a new batch of prototype-numbers similar like the J-20 demonstrators were 200x, the prototypes 201x and now the WS-10-powered version is numbered 202x.
The same is with the J-10:
J-10/J-10A = 101x
J-10S/AS = 102x
J-10B = 103x
J-10C = 105x (so what's the missing 104x??)

Thanks Deino .. so it is quite significant development then fitted with WS-10x series (whether WS-10B/C/X)

They skipped it? The PLA is not superstitious but somehow you always see the skipping over of the number four in their numbering scheme.
Glad to see the TaiShang engine equipped variant take it to the air.
Did they catch a bird by accident in one of the photos?

Somebody needs to shoot that bird before it causes a big problem...

It's just one single bird leaving the area from a pretty safe distance. Now if it's a flock of birds that would be a problem.

J-20 is my baby. I want everything flying around that airport without an engine shot just like a new mother wants every person in her neighborhood who owns both a van and a trench coat under police surveillance LOL

Is this the prototype with Chinese indigenous WS10 engines? Sorry if this has been discussed before... Guess I should keep it up better...
