You're right - it has to have a huge RCS. Look at the boxy engine inlets. The rails/hard-points on the wing tips. The sharp pointed ventral fins. All the discontinuities around the elevators and engine exhausts. Not to mention from the front you apparently get to look right down the inlets at the compressor blades. It has a lot of the same features (radar speaking) of an F-14 or F-18 - in other words its going to be bright as day up there.

The only thing stealthy about this will be that by the time our fighters get to it, it'll be a smoking hole in the ground (thus off radar) after having been shot down by an AMRAAM in a beyond visual range engagement...

Blinking makes it stealthy because when you blink you can't see it.

Well, maybe this is the picture of the older plane on which Jian-11B was based.

Here is a picture of Jian-11
