i think fc-20 is based on the airframe of j-10a, since j-10b didn't exist back then when the concept of fc-20 came along.
fc-20 could be considered a sort of j-10a "block II" under this light.
and when fully upgraded, fc-20 is very likely somewhere close to j -10b( but not j-10b per se) which, however, is a specially made airframe as a testbed for chinese aesa and other 5th gen tech.
therefore, i think it could be hard to fit the current j-10b's aesa into j-10a / fc-20 airframe.
if above assumption is correct, then the aesa of fc-20, if it does have it per requirement, could only be of european origin; or be an earlier varient of j-10b's aesa - perhaps a smaller version or something (?) that doesn't require any big change of the airframe.
