This was the first impression when the J-20 was revealed for most observers. Canards allow for superior low speed, low altitude performance as compared to a design without it.I see J-20 as F-117A analog, this means rather some sort of bomber or fighter bomber than multirole or air superiority fighter.
Sure it may be able to fire BVR and WVR AAMs, but that in no way says if the aircraft is rigged for air superiority or strike.
