That's the JH-7A.
JH-7B - upgraded variant of JH-7A
The newer JH-7 (JH-7B) airframe is lighter & stronger than that of the original JH-7 variant, giving the JH-7B model a maximum armament load of 9000 kg,compared to the Sukhoi Su-24 & Su-30 at 8000 kg and the General Dynamics F-111 at 11,000 kg.
As it is lighter and less complex than the variable geometry wing Su-24 & Su-30 the JH-7B is considerably cheaper to produce and operate.
Although it does not have the air-to-air performance of the Su-30, its range is greater. The JH-7B represents a significant strike capability for the PLANAF and its load capacity allows the aircraft to carry 2 domestically-made YJ-82 anti-ship missiles in maritime strike operations.
It can also be armed with infra-red homing air-to-air missiles such as the PL-5. Internal armament comprises a single 23mm twin-barrel GSh-23L autocannon.

Yes, it has payload more than SU30.It has a higher load capacity than the Su30??
Did you even read before posting??
