PLA 6th/next generation manned fighter aircraft has likely just conducted its maiden flight
Anyway, now the cat's looks to be out of the bag, I think it's open season to discuss it. If anything this just verifies the PLA watching methodology, considering this has been quietly expected for the last year and a half and especially ramped up in the last 4 months or so.

Season's greetings and all that.
Edit, and a few more:
Rear aspect, side, ventral, alongside J-20S chaseplane.
Edit 2: unconfirmed as of right now, but it seems Shenyang might have flown something recently... Watch this space?
