Probably a scale model for something to be build next year. It looks like a very high flying reconnaissance drone.

From huitong's UAV page...

It was reported (January 2012) that the first sub-orbital flight of a new unmanned spacecraft (Divine Dragon) took place successfully in 2011. The spacecraft is thought to be similar to American X-35B in configuration but smaller. It has been developed by the 611 Institute.

So we've known about this thing for a while and I guess the question is how big exactly this thing is and when it can make its first real space flight.

China's 611 Institute should be congratulated on its successful January 2012 launch. China has the capability of developing a space craft like the "Divine Dragon" , & other types too. I witnessed the visit of the First Chinese "Taikonauts" (I believe that's what they are called) when I was in HK in 2006. The Chinese Scientific Team who sent the 4 (if I remember correctly) Taikonauts in a Chinese Craft to outer space for the first time, gave a very impressive video/power point presentation. The Team had young people including a lady. It's great when any country develops its outer space capabilities for peaceful purposes. China is capable of competing with the US, Russia & India in this field. Good luck!

if this spacecraft is similiar to X-35B it should have been launched with a Long March rocket but we know all the payload put in
orbit in 2011.
