Indeed, even if I at first sight had the small hope it would be a glimpse of the rumoured J-10D. 
Any news on this secret variant?

Look at the fighter jet drawing on the computer screen. And the diagram on the floor. Maybe the smaller one on the left side is the secret variant with twin engines.

I dont want to troll or ask a stupid question but I read the J10 is based on the cancelled Israeli IAI Lavi jet fighter.
It is said that Israel sold the design and everything to China.
To any Chinese members how much of this is true?? Or is it just a lie?

This controversial question pop-up time and again. Israel denied it. China also denied it. So the answer is no, J10 is not Lavi, is this the answer you are looking for?

This has been debate for more than ten years. Simple answer is no.
J10 is a further development of cancelled J9 (pix below) with revised air intake, and J9 pre-dates F-16/ Lavi.
