I checked all the photos of the J35A on Chinese social media and couldn't find a single photo that captured the left side of the nose.

The J35A, like the J20, is still not equipped with a machine gun.​

I would like to confirm my opinion, but further definitive evidence is needed. There are no J35A cannons found, a photo of the left side of the nose is needed.

If the pricing is good, foreign buyers will be lining up for the export version.

Potential costumer may be:
- Pakistan (almost confirmed)
- KSA
- UAE

- Egypt ??
- Algeria ??
- Bangladesh ??

It is not about pricing alone but also foreign policy, the Interests of the
Country. You have to give a lot to get access to get 5th gen tech, UAE
couldn't get F35 even though they have money and Türkiye couldn't get
it because of other things.

Thrust control petals are more curved at the base, almost like a leaf.

Why there is no cannon on J-35
After the Vietnam War F-4 had a lot of issues cz of not having a machine gun
After that USAF make it compulsory for all the new Fighter jets to have an integrated Cannon

Folding wing mid to long range air-to-air missile for use in stealth fighter missile compartments
The payload capacity of the main aircraft models will be increased
I think the internal magazine of J35 can hold 6 missiles of this type

Machine gun is an outdated design. China should have aborted this idea decades ago.

Vietnam War is meaningless today. You have ever seen a jet shot down by machine gun in Ukraine War recently?

Oh, and the photo from this angle proves my suspicion. the J35A really doesn't have a machine gun mounted on it.

This idea of yours is wrong.
Whether or not a fighter is fitted with a machine gun depends on user requirements. There is nothing wrong with the machine gun itself.

I mean stealth fighter jet. The machine gun take lots of weight, there are better weapons to replace the role of machine gun, such as laser, missile.

I can't think of any scenario that machine gun is irreplaceable.
