Interesting 2 engined naval variant of the J-10, with larger canards. I had heard that this was planned, but this is the first time I have seen the design (including a tail hook).
That twin-engine machine also seems to have some component commonality to the Flanker/J-11 family. I find it a little suspect, tho'--the air intake doesn't look large enough to handle the needed flow for the engines.

These look like they're from Chinese Aircraft: China's Aviation Industry Since 1951 by Yefim Gordon and Dmitriy Komissarov

Any idea if this thing has really flown?
Don't know. At this point, it is just a fan art, nothing more.
