nice propaganda, aircraft are not designed with a single intake, canard o delta wing but with several dozen early configurations, to put it simple if you have ever seen how many configurations were studied for F-14, you know some F-14s look like F-15s, others like Tornadoes, for example 303C had submerged engines like F-15 and 303D looked like a Tu-22M3, to believe the wing and canard were only studied, is laughable simply because most designers even using canards and delta also studied aft tails, any way there is a Chinese mock up with F-16 style intakes and canards, of course propaganda needs patriotism and forget some details.
Just look how many concepts were studied for the Eurofighter typhoon
