Well ... change of radome could be - maybe a wild guess! - a hint for the J-20B and the fact that the 131st AB is under conversion is not really new or a surprise. However the new cn. would be one.
But what does this mean?

Referring to their discussion on which unit got J-20 first this year, Foshan or Luliang.
Well, 131st AB is 74x2x and 4th AB is 61x5x. However the OP doesn't mean to say Foshan already got J-20 but this dude misinterpret what OP means.
Also I have corrected myself that the 220th J-20 should be CB10220 instead of CB11220 under 20 per batch assumption, but the mystery still stands.

Maybe they skipped 4 because superstition.
For all we know this could be purposefully planted fake news to trip you up.
Agreed, this is always a possibility, but do you really think they rate that “strange German minion“ so important to deliberately post faked reports?

This doesn't smell right. Just a hunch, but who's the original source and who are re-posting it?
check your math, J-20 serials start at 00xx, so it would be 10220 not 11220. and if China does indeed open a second production line for J-20 then they can easily hit 09220.
Yes, it is exactly why I thought it was made up when I first saw it. But @萌虎鲸 and @拓跋尊 as well as @Quardo30Mbps are all re-posting it and iirc OP is the original source of this J-10 picture.
Just notice he shot another JF-17 as well.
I have corrected myself in the thread above. But it is still not going to be 09220 if they are continuing on previous numerical system.
