Goole translated! The original report may be viewed below:

??????????????????????_??_???
 
To clarify the AAMs of China PL-12A (SD10A) and PL9C are considered as 4th G AA missiles. China has an on-going R&D project of PL-13 (150-200km) but there's no description on the next generation of AAMs.
 
Does these refer to earlier J series, J-10 and J-10A respectively?

regards

I think he meant PL-12A missiles that various fighters could carry:

J-8F(H) -- 4 PL-12A missiles
J-10A -- 6 PL-12A missiles
J-11B -- 8 PL-12A missiles (maybe also J-11A with a 11B upgrade)
