I don’t think we can draw conclusions until more videos and clearer images are available.

We will see a 3,000-word article about it on TWZ within 24 hours.

No, the TWZ usually only makes one ... publishing several stupid reports on the same topic is more NationInterst's job!

Most people are memeing about it saying "it's F-47 penetrating Chinese airspace!"
But out of the more serious replies they seem to be leaning into CCA rather than manned aircraft.

You underestimate the editors of TWZ. They can continue to produce 500 articles with the same thumbnail images before their beloved F/A-XX actually fly

Is there a particular reason why people are assuming this aircraft is unmanned?

I would better reverse the question: is there a particular reason why people are assuming this aircraft is manned?
