Chinese don't use English in their military? Do they?

It‘s rumored that newer generation pilot in aviation school begin to adopt english jargon and some of the PLAAF combat unit use it.

Nice. You can see from the display symbology how much the J10 and JF17 share in their DNA.

The evolution of J10C to the J10NG (Next Generation) would have to have upgrade on
1) More powerful engine

A WS-10 variant different than the ones we've been seeing on current J-10Cs and J-20s?

According to a very creditable source, Pupu, from his weibo account he implied Chengdu now work on a 4-generation J-10.

I think it is quite possible, officially AVIC has FC-31 as their only medium weighted 4 gen fighter project, but Chengdu would not just give up that market without putting a fight, so there is a single engine 4 gen fighter project in the name of J-10 update (just to avoid resistance, kind like Tu-22 and Tu-22M).

Probably English is a requirement for the pilots of the Blue force in Red vs Blue training to simulate real life encounters, also English is needed for communication with foreign pilots in multi-national exercises.

Communicating using English jargon during real combat against an English speaking foe would give away your next intended move. It should not be use in such scenario.

The evolution of J10C to the J10NG (Next Generation) would have to have upgrade on
1) More powerful engine
2) Electronics specs on the level of J20 where space and power generation permit
3) LO stealth, probably including canted V tails
4) Concealed weapon stores
5) Probably larger fuselage to accommodate more fuel and thus larger combat range (eg. F/A-18 Hornet's evolution to larger Super Hornet).
6) Air intake changed from chin location to sides, so as to provide space for concealed weapon store as well as S shape air intake duct for better stealth. (refer nose air intake J8 to side air intake J8A as precedence).

(1), (2) and (3) above are almost a certainty except the canted V tails, (4), (5) and (6) are speculative (my 2 cents).

More powerful newer version WS-10 engine definitely. Apart from that, use of lightweight materials such as carbon fibre and RAM coating. Addition of conformal fuel tank CFT or enlarging fuel tank with humpback like Mig-29SMT maybe. TVC yes but VSTOL is totally not going to happen as it requires redesigning the entire fuselage.

All good but we will have a very critical issue then: cost!
The plane will be as expensive as a true 5G bird!
There is no point for such jet fighter.

Pupu confirmed that the new J-10 variant will not have TVC ... the TVC will first be deployed on the J-20B.
