A thread of tweets by Dafeng Cao today:
“Big news, it seems the TVC engine testbed will perform a flight display at Zhuhai.”
“J-10B prototype #1034 powered by WS-10 TVC engine, note the spin recovery parachute mounting base around tail and smoke devices under wing.”

The TVC engine must have tested thousand of times without problem before PLAAF willing to take this risk to task that J-10C to carry out a high risky demo in front of 10000 people crowd.
BTW, this TVC looks very futuristic, like something out of transformer movies. Unlike the Russian TVC or even the American one.
