Chinese Air Force Long Range Role
New long range bomber on the cards? Their main bomber, the H-6, is an obsolete Badger clone - medium range and payload. It's the main anomalous item in their modernisation programme.

Hmmm ... I wonder how they came up with that configuration? 
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I reckon the imitation is by the chinese-military-aviation blogsite, not (necessarily) the PLAAF. The website has clearly just put new digital skin onto a B-2 model.
The grainy overhead image is different. Who can yet tell what that is?

...or the quickest way of getting to the optimal planform dictated by payload/range/mission?
"Thank you United States for doing all our research for us..."
Similar to the Soviets investigating different planforms for a spaceplane before realising their US counterparts had it right - and building Buran.

Reminds me of the late Colin Forbes 1992 chilling spy thriller continuing on the series about SIS deputy Director Tweed and his elite team tracking chinese spy ring and its Uk handler / traitor around the Uk and Europe post cold war and its all about stolen stealth tech / use of stealth ships and mentions PLAAF having a fleet of stealth bombers as a result kidnappings of prominent Northrop scientists / engineers. The plot continues about European think tank members relatives kidnapped and mutilated in order for them to keep their silence and and above all Chinese stealth ships sneaking into Uk and European waters dropping off spies, sinking / killing any sailors stand in their way. The first victim in the opening- by chance happense to be a new member of Tweeds team who goes out to sea off Lymington looking for his friend, and ends up cur in half by a stealth craft. Final showdown is in Baltic between a Type 23 and the stealth craft

Some are arguing a nice bit of photoshop there however there rumours on this
http://chinese-military-aviation.***...rcraft-ii.html
that an overhead view of the facility showed a flying wing and some tooling a#had been built aiming for a first flight in year or so. Bearing in mind the update was a year or so ago...a lot could have changed?
