Official article on J-20 pilots based in Henan from the official PLA Newspaper.
Some interesting exerpts:
1) Flying a J-20 does not make you invincible in DACT. You may get early lock on your opponent but if you don't follow up properly they still can escape and sometimes bite back.
2) PL-15 appear pretty deadly, able to achieve two kills with two missiles despite only one J-20 pilot remaining during the mock engagement. Advanced radar/data linking and proper pilot execution allowed for simultaneous lock/kill of two maneuvering fighters.
3) PLAAF pilots are creative and constantly innovate in new tactics in order to defeat their opponents, even their mentor/leader.
4) Data linking allows PLAAF fighter aircraft to precisely target ground based enemy assets even when said aircraft's sensors are incapacitated by EW.
