Any good video from the sunny day in Zhuhai of J-20 in recent days?
Unconfirmed rumors on weibo suggest that J-20 production will surpass 100 from next year.
Not sure how it could be done but based on multiple rumors I heard from different sources, PLAAF may aim to procure 70-90 J-20s this year and more than 100 from 2023. The source claimed that the production could have been higher if the second factory entered production from the starting of 2022 and a third factory will be finished by the end of 2023.
I have serious doubt that it will go up to that high earlier this year when the rumors come out but the number count from Zhuhai is really stunning and have to say in line with rumors. I think I will wait and see for further evidence.

Have they done large scale factory expansion at CAC recently? I would think they need to do that in order to get J-20 production to 100 a year. SAC significantly increased their factory size IIRC, so I think they can produce 75 to 100 aircraft a year if they wanted to.
unprecedented even if they produce 70 plus ..
China's industrial capacity finally unleased. this decade is really interesting to follow. we will see the same trend in all top military hardware..
It will depend on the geopolitical environment and how air combat evolves not the production capacity.
For one thing locals haven’t seen any large number of J-10C for a while. Maybe the rumor of Guizhou J-10 is real.
