Almost positive that J-20 is designed as an air superiority fighter. The TVC for J-20 should be ready by the time it enters service. Currently it is flying without TVC.

Does any one know what benefit warping the wing serves?

Wing warping was a technique used before the use of ailerons superseded it in the First World War. You might mean wing twist? This is reducing the angle of incidence at the wing tip profile compared with that of the root profile for reasons of not stalling the wing tip first, which is dangerous, and to reduce induced drag and possibly to do with supersonic flow I am ignorant about.

Thnx paintgun and delft! That is the information I needed.

Video that RedSky posted is on youtube now. Still wish the cameraman had something better than a smartphone.
