Chances PLAAF will have a stealth bomber by 2010?

Hello, it's my first post.

I hope people won't mind if I open my first post with conjectured airplane. I know very little of armies, navies airforces, other than a few pages that I've read here and on other forums so far. I'm just a fanboy of seeing "a clash of powers that be" and see that China is finally rising, but has no weapons so far that poses a challenge to the U.S..
Except this one.. if it's real.

I was hoping someone could tell me whether China is even capable of mass-producing a stealth bomber by 2010 and how fake the following pictures are of the supposed H-8 stealth bomber (I plucked them from youtube).

So what is your opinion on how capable china is to build a stealth bomber?
So how fake is this?
Which plane is this a copy of? (from the amount of lurking on defence forums, I keep seeing "china copies this or that" or "that is just fanboy photoshopping of an f-22 or b-2a")
Can that thing even fly?
Where is it keeping it's bombs?

This design is horrible.

The location of the weaapon bay is totaly wrong.

Once the bomber had dropped its weapons, it will be very unbalanced.

That aircraft looks like a commuter jet someone did a little MS paint job on. Totally PS...

magic eight ball say: out look not so good.

Although Possible I question the Time of 2010 More likely Some time after 2015 and with a more Conventional Configuration this looks more like a Poorman's have blue or a PS based on a Lear jet or gulf stream

sluimers, as a friendly note, next time you want to host a photo use a more reputable site such as imageshack or tinypic. That site you used to host your pics has disappeared.

no way,China air frames design still very weak,.samll two engine strike aircraft,yes,but a 4 engine? no.
Lol let's not get into a debate about how good China can make it's planes =P

If China does have a stealth bomber, it'll be pretty certain to feature in this years parade in October. The only thing is that we haven't seen any real photos of a stealth bomber "leaked" which destroys any credibility of an H-8 or whatever.
