I don't mean to deride anything on your blog (it's a great blog, by the way), but I've noticed that you made an error in your FC-31 entry.
You stated that the FC-31 seems to have won PLAN funding and that the FC-31 3.0 prototype might be naval variant.
However, if going by the original source of the rumor:

We can see that:
I hope this clears things up.
Cheers!

We can see that:
- The Navy has not decided which aircraft to choose from, but instead it will decide between "medium sized heavyweight fighters"
- There will be two contenders, one from 601 (FC-31 version) and one from 611
- There is no indication that the FC-31 has received the contract
- It seems that BOTH 601 and 611 have received preliminary "funding" to develop their naval prototypes (NOT for the final PLAN fighter contract)
I hope this clears things up.
Cheers!
