Haha, that could use a little more color for sure.
It's quite impressive how the Chinese engineers have mastered the DSI intake and use it on all their indigenous aircraft.

I don’t like it. Ever since they made it low visible it looks like the angry bird cousin of the Seattle Seahawks logo.

you mean a 'smug' German!
Actually I don't know why asking critical questions are rated as 'smug' ?
Why is the question for credibility and for reliable sources considered complacent?
In my opinion, critical thinking - especially when it comes to journalism - should always be fact-based and rated the standard rather than just being based on desires and dreams that are all too often hyped by fanboys.
I know some don't like me and probably have all reasons for this, but maybe this is the reason for my reputation I have in the social community outside?

I wish folks could see it from @Deino's perspective ...
We see countless posts about the PAF getting things from random places -- including that weird acid trip about J-15s, JH-7s, and F-16s. So, he has every right to question information. Unless we hear it officially, people have every right to question the info.
Yes, Pakistan has a penchant for surprising folks with sudden contract announcements (e.g., Type 054A/P, VT4, etc), but that comes in the backdrop of dozens of false reports from various people.

Sorry again if I misunderstood your reply and even more if you rated mine as an offensive return. I was only unsure, since in Germany the term "smug" or "selbstgefällig" has a very negative connotation in the meaning of "hochnäsig" (snooty or supercilious!)
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Interesting news, that raises some more interesting questions?
WHY ... ? Are there any issues? Maybe related to the engines? Do they wait for a certain item or even occasion?
We know these WS-10B-powered J-10Cs are in production since mid-2019 but we haven't seen a single operational one in a PLAAF brigade yet?
