you are right, he said "si" instead of "Shi" because he is not from area around Beijing.Somehow the discussion kept reminding of the Chinese soldier in this video (2:29) saying "sir" ("yes") in respond to his leader. To me, I couldn't hear the "sh" sound.

Yes indeed ! A really strange error.
Anyway, Huitong reported over there at the CDF, that the reported maiden flight of yet another Y-20 was most likely an error and that there was this month only one new bird - no. 05 - on 2. July but nothing more.

looks like it.
Actually the linguistic equivalent of Mandarin to Cantonese is English to German or Dutch. Mandarin, Wu, Yue, and Minnan are as linguistically distant from each other as different Germanic languages or different Latin languages.Congratulations, you have a great potential to speak standard mandarin, because 4 and Death sounds differently to you meaning you can distinguish tones in Chinese. The two Words are different, remember Chinese has four tones, 4 has 4th tone while Death has 3rd tone. Also Madarian has many regional variants, speakers of these sub variants may have to struggle to understand each others while none of them would be able to understand Cantonese at all. If we say American English is like Mandarian, and assume Midwest accent as Standard Mandarian, Taxan would sounds like Another Mandarian variant, while Indian English would be Cantonese. It is totally OT, but just for a laugh.
This looks 'like a bad case of camera shake. Camera shifted positions before the shutter closed. Very common with telephoto since small shakes lead to large shifts at a distance.

If it is camera shake, then the whole plane will have more than one image, not just the landing wheels.
