Hi Deino,
From my point of view you can just ignore the guy called "pb****". He is a well known SAC affiliate. So the more credible information comes from "gongke". He is known working in the aircraft engine industry, although no one can confirm that. Some of his past posted information was validated by later development anyway.
What he tried to say includes the following key points,
1. The Chief (or Deputy Chief) of PLAN visited SAC. SAC flew both versions of FC-31 to make up a demo for him, for which I believe you watched that video before.
2. The Chief of PLAN praised FC-31 highly, so SAC staff were very excited and almost planned a celebration. However, The Chief of Navy couldn't promise the adoption. So the SAC people had to visit the Navy's Warfare R&D Institute for further information, therefore were cooled down by the peer feedback.
3. The land based naval fighter selection seems to be J-20.
In another post, he mentioned that CAC has announced to attend the competition for carrier based fighter aircraft.
It sounds quite weird to me that SAC staff could be excited just because they received some praise. For the past 2 generations of fighters for PLAAF, ie. J-10 and J-20, all competing aircraft developers needed to go through official bidding processes. Although they couldn't afford to make real aircraft for the competition, they were required to produce massive amount of test and calculated data to indicate strength and weakness of their designs. I think there will be no exception for this new generation of carrier based fighters and SAC cannot rely on personal praise to win as they will have to go through the bidding.
BTW I don't really believe personal praise is a thing important in the Chinese culture. Chinese people are quite used to praising others in the public just for making interpersonal relationship smooth, which is not necessarily a sign of liking.
One thing which could intrigue many outsiders is whether SAC and CAC will be required to make real aircraft to attend the bidding processes. That will be quite interesting.
Cheers

There is no evidence that the FC-31 has been selected for the PLA Navy tender.
No matter what china select but it will be 5th Gen. Any 4th Gen will be stopgapThere is no evidence that the FC-31 has been selected for the PLA Navy tender.
