It won't look like a Flanker; there is no place for a stealthy Flanker in the PLAAF.

Shenyang has a tradition of copying Russian fighters. It's hard to say what will come out next from their hands. But after series of rumors and still seeing nothing, I lost my belief in Shenyang.
Be of good cheer. If it is a silent flanker than at least it isn't J-8ZZZ
Thaks that You posted it here since the J-20 tread is surely wrong.
However I have some strong reservations to cry out loud "Juhu the J-xy from SAC" since I can't think that SAC will travel its future stealthy fighter simply thru the streets.
As such I was thinking more towards a mock-up, a theme-pak model or something similar simple ??? ... or is that an L-15 trainer ???
Following some posts at the CDF, there are however some differences to exclude an L-15 .... and especially that tight securety. Reportedly it is indeed from SAC on the was to Tianjin. ... but why in Tianjin !
Anway interesting,

That air frame looks too small to be SAC's new Stealth Fighter!! It's probably a model for exhibition purposes, no wonder its being carried on the back of a truck. You can be sure that SAC wouldn't be revealing their new Stealth Fighter, transporting it on the back of a truck. Having said that, I personally hope that SAC does have a Stealth Fighter in development that would compliment the J-20.

What I am thinking is, SAC already done with the mock-up and started to work on something real, so they give up this one to other facilities in Tianjin?

So it's not a single-seat L-15 according to this.
it surely is different from an L-15
different size, different shape
and the setup does not match, they wouldnt give such a high security
now if it's model, it would be ridiculous as well to secure it in such way
though that might be a bit of optimism in the way of thinking

According to someone' analysis, this thingy could be 15 meters long, almost the size of F-35
