It's not official, but looks to be along the lines of something like this.
Engines are placed a high priority this time, I guess the top brass are finally pissed that in this historic time when China is trying to break out of Asia, engines are still pulling the leg of the country.
I'm guessing a mass increase in production for 4+ fighters like J-10B and J-11B are going to be on the cards, what with the expanding air force and replacing of J-7s and other obsolete crap on the skies.
But I see a huge emphasis on fifth generation, don't know if that just means fifth gen engines are hard to develop and need more resources or slowing fourth gen production it's fifth gen's world.
