Obviously. They are not gonna run ads for Martin Baker on CCTV.
The same ejection seat has been installed on J-10 and managed to save the pilot on numerous occasions, the most noteworthy of which happened post bird-strike in 2020. The pilot had to bailout around 50 meters from the ground.

is it carrying C803 anti-ship missiles ?
would be better to see the CM-400AKG missiles
such formation would cause havoc to any incoming warships

One more.
It is hard to believe that in 2022, we have an aircraft that has outwardly exposed hinges present on the cockpit mechanism? Where did China find the engineers who think that this form of 1950's design thinking is still appropriate?? It's not like this isn't a solved design issue that those engineers could have copied from else where eg Gripen's approach, or Rafales .....
Does feel like the "A" Team worked on the J20 and the "D" team at Chengdu worked on the design... very primitive to see in this day and age ...
You're talking about an aircraft was designed as both a low cost workhorse and a ToT project. So fit & finish items like hidden hinges are nice to have, but they might conflict with the main goals of the project.
