Nice representation of a J-20 twin-seater ... but does this image and video have any meaning or is it just some fan-art?

The key point is that the video is from AVIC.

So it is true?? I only read some forums where they claim it would be AVIC's or even the official CAC account showing this video for the 10th anniversary of the J-20.

- Chinese engineers directed to modify the WS-25 engine until it matches America’s F-22 Raptor, says insider
- The pandemic and other issues have caused delays, with warning that China risks falling behind in long-term aircraft development
China will cease using the Russian engine currently fitted on China’s new generation
J-20 stealth fighter jet
, replacing it with an upgraded home-grown engine.
A military insider told the South China Morning PostChinese aircraft engineers found their domestically built WS-10C, the modified version of the WS-10 engine, to be as good as the
Russian AL-31F engines
.
“It’s impossible for China to rely on the Russian engine, because Russia asked China to purchase more Su-35 fighter jets in exchange for the AL-31F engine deals,” the insider, who requested anonymity, said.
“The key problem is – except for its longer combat range advantage – the radar, navigation system and other electronic components on the Su-35s are inferior to Chinese aircraft like the J-16 strike fighter.”

Any article by Minnie Chan or the SCMP should be considered not credible at first sight.

The song "Covering the sky" praises the 10th anniversary of the maiden flight of the J-20!
From Henri Kenhmann at East Pendulum on 2021.01.09:
In a video published yesterday by AVIC on its Weixin account, to celebrate the 10 years of J-20 test flight, the two-seater version appeared for the 1st time as a synthetic image.
The technological demonstrator of the J-20 (2001) made its maiden flight on 2011-01-11.

A new slightly clearer image of the J-20's cockpit was posted based again on an enhanced reflection in the pilot's visor showing what appears to show a large touchscreen panoramic cockpit display (PCD) & a smaller LCD set below.
