I had the same thoughts too. What does Qiang Jun mean? 强军？

Yes. It is what Yankee used in his piece. Don't know where it came from though.
From what I understood from Yankee's latest article, he used it as a replacement for the term "Loyal Wingman", saying how the terminology should be updated to something akin to Strong/Powerful Wingman, to better reflect these drones' expected performance profile.

To me it doesn't look like it has 2D TVC but I'll be eager to see it from the top down in future flights.
I agree great stuff-however right now I am more concerned about some over pressured Pentagon junior officer copying your work PPT as his own and just by changing the Chinese aircraft to American ones to present to A US Congressional Military Commitee on how to deal with /counter this PLAAF 6 gen development-can't have them blatantly *COPYING* your hard work-BTW thanks.
Some Weibo observers believe that the J-36 uses the nozzle design mentioned in Wang Haifeng's paper. But I can't see the lower part of the nozzle from this photo. For now, it looks more like the YF-23 design.
To be fair, this is more of a complete CONOPS, it goes well beyond DEF-CA.
Except graphics and splendid job!
