When will the Chinese start gluing their aircraft, those rivets look awful, just look at the Typhoon and Rafale as a comparison. No place for the weight of rivets on modern planes.

I think it has something to do with cost. Anybody want to add in?

Nothing... I see EuroTyphoon and J-10C in terms of finishing has not much different.

You really believe in that new recruit comment?

If you zoom in the picture of Typhoon, you can see the rivet.

And I think he is a false flagged.

A known one, whenever you zoom in, no plane looks good

Here is an example of a panel from an airliner...

Each fastener has a specific torque value. Generally speaking, a panel will have all of its fasteners have the same torque, but there will be a panel that will have different fastener sizes with different torque values. Adhesives do not have this level of physical security.

20813 ... the "2" seems photoshopped ! Any info on what unit this bird is from? 10th Bomber Division is unlikely.
Another possibility could be 70813, what would be 90th Brigade, Dalian Base replacing a Q-5-regiment at Wafangdian ... possible !
