Official spokesperson confirms that all the equipment display are new equipment in service with the PLA.
Well, again expected, but wasn‘t this also cöaimed 2019 and we know quite sure, that the GJ-11 was at least back then not in service.

Maybe GJ-11 was in service but only with a training unit or a tactics research unit. Again, I just don't see why China will brag about cutting edge (not in service) weapons when they have a deliberate policy to hide their most advanced capability to maintain surprise in an actual war. Can't show all your cards.Well, again expected, but wasn‘t this also cöaimed 2019 and we know quite sure, that the GJ-11 was at least back then not in service.
There's vids of gj11 flying around for months so it's obviously in service since 2019

Although this biconical warhead is very likely capable of carrying a nuclear payload; and that may even be its primary purpose. The glider essentially implies it is definitely intended for nuclear warheads. We all know it probably exists or wouldn’t be difficult for the PLA to develop, but displaying it like this is a bit too overkillH-6 ALBM looks larger than MRBM sized. If this is not just a MaRV but a glider type MaRV, wouldn't be surprised if it has more than IRBM range with the additional energy from air launch at some speed and altitude plus having a glider warhead.

That seems rather obvious, doesn't it? Unless they are implying that LO cruise missile is an analog to the LRSO, there is no longer range air-based weapon than this.How do you know this?
