Seems like this design doesn't consider rearside stealth very much.

Actually that design only considers frontal stealth. Beyond frontal there way too many 90' angles. SAC design went through several changes for J-XX. After the canard tri-plane was rejected the final refinement appears to be - see attachment below; This goes back to the more conventional layout but with all-aspect stealth. Either way PLAAF was not impressed.
Is it me or does this design resemble a stealth version of J-8II?
very nice catch!

Il semblerait que ce soit la première fois que l'on voit l'ouverture de soute ventrale du FC-31 en vol, extrait d'une vidéo d'AVIC.

It would seem that this is the first time we see the opening of cargo of the CF-31 in flight, from a video of AVIC.
