The J-20 has canards so there is likely less improvement in maneuverability in going with TVC in it to begin with.
TVC also decreases TBO for engines significantly. It is another point of failure in the aircraft.

Those guys are from thedrive.com and they are users here.

Scumbag stealing the hard work of SDF members. President Xi please send Chengdu J-20 multirole stealth fighter with WS-15 engine
They aren't important enough for that, you'll have to settle for an AliBaballoon.
If this was the first flight for dual WS-15, how quickly can they be equipped to frontline brigades assuming no hiccups in testing? Next year?
I mean, he links to HenriK's tweet and Deino, I think between the two of them you can get a pretty good synopsis of the biggest news on this board.
Yeah, which is why the overall thrust of the article is okay.
But one can also tell there's a bit of Nuance and background context and detail that isn't there if one was reading the forum in a competent manner.
My point being that he probably isn't getting info from the forum (for those who are complaining), but rather via twitter.
