It’s confirmed that J-20 can only load 4 internal AAMs rather than 6 during the final day of Zhuhai Air Show, and they are all PL-15 BVRAAM. Also, the side missile bays can also close the doors when PL-10 is extended:

C'mon, PLAAF. There is no need to censor the IFR probe while demonstrating it!

Not quite. "All ships submerge but only submarines surface"

Perhaps it's time to ask the devs for a 'Ramming' capability. Useful in SCS scenarios as well [;)]

Official confirmation by Chinese state media that the 3rd carrier is under construction. Well, PLA watchers knew this long ago...

China launches work on third aircraft carrier, Xinhua says
By Zhao Lei | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2018-11-26 10:58
China has launched work on building its third aircraft carrier, Xinhua News Agency reported on Sunday.
In an article published on its WeChat account, Xinhua said that as the nation’s second, and the first domestically designed, carrier has undergone sea trials, a “new-generation carrier” is being constructed at the shipyard as per schedule.
The article, which was intended to mark the sixth anniversary of the first takeoff and landing by a Chinese fighter on the country’s first carrier CNS Liaoning, does not elaborate on the program of the “new-generation carrier”, which is believed to be the country’s third carrier. But the article is the first official confirmation.
Chinese weapons enthusiasts and foreign observers have long asserted that China has begun to build its third carrier at China State Shipbuilding Corp’s Jiangnan Shipyard Group in Shanghai, speculating that it will be bigger and mightier than the Liaoning and the second carrier, which is yet to be named.
A publicity officer at China State Shipbuilding Corp’s headquarters in Beijing refused to comment on the matter.
Publicity officers of the People’s Liberation Army Navy could not be reached on Monday morning.
