Chinese media has announced on 15 October that the newest long-range strategic bomber will unveil during a parade as part of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) in 2019.

According to the news reports, China to unveil its new long-range strategic bomber at the large-scale air force military parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PLAAF. However, there’s no official statement or confirmed from the Chinese government or military.

Also, what kind of Chinese media has announced this? Any random internet media? The unreliable SCMP or again Global Times?

Fake News.

So as expected ...

I must admit even if there's indeed a lot of "noise" concerning the H-20 recently, IMO none of the reliable reports directly hint an "appearance soon" or even less a "maiden flight"; these only mention a certain break-thru in design & development. ... therefore these hyping reports like the one from Global Times quoting a Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta - IMO barely reliable in top secret Chinese military matters - and even worse mentioning the wrong aircraft designer, should be IMO at best ignored.

How can China ever unveil a prototype in a military parade? The J-20 was first unveiled in 2011 and has not flown in a formal parade until July 2017. I'd say mid 2020s you will see the first H-20s flying in formation.

Yes, but were there not some reports a few weeks ago?

Because China's development of FBW systems isn't as advanced as some people like to believe.
