From a few days ago, but interesting nonetheless: PB19980515 talks about the J-20's internal & external weapons loads...
If you use composite (I think he is referring to multiple ejector racks) pylons, it can carry 16 missile"

(Talking about the PL-20)
PB19980515: "The diameter has been changed."

(Talking about the PL-20 specifically)
PB19980515: "I don't know about the specific data, but the design focus was to keep its range as large as possible (it uses a double-pulse motor, which means that it uses new propellant as well) as well as to enhance its fit."

The rest of his posts pretty much corroborate previous rumors that the J-20 can fit four PL-15 missiles or six of the new medium-range AAMs (PL-20 according to other sources) within its internal bays. He also mentions that the length will not change much (from PL-15 to PL-20 presumably) but the missile will adopt new rudders & new missile body.
"If it is a non-stealth configuration, it can carry 12 missiles...如果是非隐身状态构型 可以挂12枚。。。
如果用复合挂架 可以到16枚。。。。

Q: "Assuming that the missile has folding strakes, will there be a change to its diameter?"Q: 也就是蛋翼折叠,蛋径不变吗
PB19980515: 弹径有变化。。。。

Q: "Can the new MRAAM's performance be compared to that of the AIM-120D?"Q: 新中距弹的性能可以跟AIM-120D相比吗?
PB19980515: 具体数据我也不知道,总体设计指标是在尽可能的保持大射程的基础上(双脉冲是确定了 药柱应该也是新的) 增强适装性。。。。
