Finding it extremely unfortunate this series of aircraft will likely be officially numbered as 35 moving forward.
This is almost equally inappropriate as the Su-57 name where twenty numbers were skipped along the way.

22+35=57

That is the joke anyway.

35 is a good marketing ploy. it places itself as direct competition with f-35 for export purposes

From a Shenyang promo film. The sawtoothed panels look like part of the engine nacelles.

It is Shenyang AVIC factory, which points to J31/J35.

Just curious, why do you think these parts at a Shenyang Aircraft facility are for Chengdu Aircraft's J-20? Do you know something about J-20's supply chain that we don't?

CAC/XAC/SAC all belong to AVIC (中航工業).

Seriously? And could you explain to us why the diameter of the parts look significantly smaller than that of the WS-10/AL-31's nozzles?

Sure but the banner at the back clearly says SAC, and not any of the other companies.
