11 point
J-10A still has 7 hardpoints for weapons and additional pylons could be added to increase the weapon payload of the plane and the other two hardpoint are merely used for pods.
According to Sinodefence.com:
"The aircraft has 11 external stores stations for weapon carriage, three under each wing and five under the fuselage."
But the above pic shows that four under each wing and three under the fuselage and the count is still 11.
The previous verion of above pic is available at the link below (I think the location of pic is same)

11+2=13 hardpoints
9 hardpoints
this pic?
Dumb bombs and targeting pods thats it. can it carry advance AAM AGM? NO! that is not really a multi role hardpoint like the one found under the wings.
Are you saying they are not hard point because they only carry irom bombs? Even if they can only carry dumb bombs, they are still hard points. It has 11 hardpoints.
What is the difference between a PGM hardpoint and a dumb bomb hard point? ... ... besides the possibilty of the added guidance unit crushing into other parts of the J-10, it seem there is enough clearance to fit an equivalent PGM of the iron bombs shown.

11+2=13 hardpoints
