And this is based on what? We have not even seen one, not even a prototype...

A possibility, although not certain how credible the original source is.

Based on this new and allegedly recent image not only the J-10Cs but also the J-20As are gone and new J-10Cs have taken their places in the shelters now!

In hindsight, the large number of J-10s and J-20s was nothing out of the ordinary.

I was able to dig this satellite photo from December of 2017. There were about 20 J-10s parked at Chengdu then too. Those would have been J-10Cs as well but with AL-31s.

I think it is a normal part of the production cycle on the J-10 line. I would expect the same for the J-20 eventually. We might see 20+ J-20s parked at CAC one day too. But remember these precedences before speculating about issues :)
