In fact, if needed. J-20 can be thrown into combat in 2017 or late 2016. No need wait until 2019.

Indians think that J-20 can be handled by Rafales.

Taiwan? I think China would need it to protect its interests in SCS and ECS.

It will be combat ready for LRIP. The only thing needs to iron out is the doctrine and tactics. Nothing to do with any spec or system of aircraft.

I remember when its grainy pictures first came out and some cyber experts started claiming that they were fake and photoshopped and then when HR pictures were released again those cyber experts claimed that it may be a "Tech-Demo" Boy o Boy! How China has done its skeptics wrong.

China Expects J-20 Stealth Fighter to Be Combat Ready in 2019

Considering production models are already rolling out of the factory, 2018 is more likely the IOC date. I suspect we'll start seeing an improved version featuring WS-15 engine and updated avionics by 2019.

Once again, PLAAF doesn't have IOC notion, so it doesn't mean anything when we talk about chinese equipments...

J20 designed to be powered by Russian engines?
No.

Or you means there is a variant with Russian engines, and China would declare something similar IOC of that variant?
