You think too much. There is no point to have this much uncertainty if you plan to export it. The AVIC promotion video is on qq video. Although the subsequent missile firing looks out of place, that could be CG. Most of the close up of J-20 are CG.

Thanks for the new sources, the bilibili video at 4:05 indeed looks like camera in the chaser plane. Now I am back on the original point.

Yes, the missile launching looks 99.9% CG to me. The plume tells everything.

The sequence where the doors open is real. However, the subsequent missile firing is likely CG, as many on Chinese forums say.

They motion blurred the missile when its relative horizontal speed is 0. I also think the camera jet is in a very dangerous place if it is indeed following a missile launch test.

While the missile is fake, the opening and closing of the weapons bay is definitely authentic. Here is a GIF image of the movements in action.

Strangely enough, China would be imbecilic not to put the J-31 into at least limited service. It's essentially an F-35 knockoff, the primary opponent of the J-20. The J-31, if upengined and gold-plated for DACT purposes, would make a great pseudo-F-35 for the J-20 to practice with. It is an aircraft designed for purer stealth than the J-20, and can help train J-20 pilots to dominate the F-35.
