Not truly unexpected, since some time a prime candidate to become the first WTC brigade to gain the J-20A, but anyway a surprise, this one appears to be serial number 72027 assigned to the 111th Air Brigade at Korla-Xinjiang (?).

increase maneuverability a lot.
increase lift coefficient a lot.
decease landing speed, shorten take-off distance

canards is good design

Not more than a regular aft-mounted tail in case the design is correct
