The canards on the J-20 are individually pivotable and retractable. Take another look at the photo in Post #26, in which the right canard is pivoted (for rapid roll) and the left canard is retracted (swept back into the fuselage).

Actually, I think it’s just the angle that the photo was taken that makes the canard look like it’s retracted.
