Maybe not.If nothing happens against it, then YES. ... will You attend too?

I'm pretty sure the WS-15 has more thrust that 15 metric tonnes (147 kN) ... poster might have been confused with the WS-10IPE.
The video of J-20 about 10 minutes taken by a fan: https://m.weibo.cn/5140337677/4244767003284492
China is giving us increasingly better views of their top fighter design which are helping to answer some important capability questions.
The J-20's large Diverterless Supersonic Inlet (DSI) is shown in great detail as well, including various porous panels that also help separate turbulent boundary layer air from its skin—a process required to feed its engines with stable airflow throughout its flight envelope.
Now, after years of avionics development, which has included the use of a specialized flying avionics laboratory, a real chin-mounted electro-optical capability looks to have become operational on China's growing J-20 force, and the PLAAF is more willing to show it off in pictures. Remember, very little actually leaks out of China in regards to sensitive weapon systems without the government allowing it. In other words, they let us see what they want us to see.
That's very true, but that gold reflection is genius since it doesn't allow us to see what's inside.
Many have posited that this enclosure is intended to house an analog to the F-35's Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS). But based on these images, it seems to have a far more limited purpose.
Yet what's most impressive is that China has leapfrogged Russia when it comes to advanced fighter aircraft design in most respects. And by many indications, that disparity will continue to widen with each passing day as the J-20 fleet grows and evolves while Russia's Su-57 program stagnates towards irrelevance.
The nemesis of the stealth fighter?
China's new materials will increase the radar detection range by 50 times
F-22 is not that small after all...
I think its little bigger from F-22 might be 5 -7 feet extra long (F-22 62 feet long), (Su-57 65 feet long), (J-20 67-69 feet long) @Gomig-21It's certainly not. While I have not seen the J-20 first hand, I've seen the F-22 several times as well as the F-35 and if those side-by-side illustrations are accurate to some extent, the J-20 is a massive bird.

one part on missing on J-20, This is WS-15, now let wait and see that WS-15 what type of nozzles it will have either flat type LOAN nozzles that F-22 have or serrated one just like F-35 have @Gomig-21Yep, you are right @pakistanipower It kinda defies logic in terms of stealth and of course this concept is not relegated to just the J-20, but the F-22 and Su-57 as well. Proves the fact that size does not matter as much as shape and technology.
