Here's a CH-7 model from several years ago. Looks like there has been some changes to the overall airframe design. Posted by @沉默的山羊 on Weibo.

Seems so, but it looks now more like a sensor UAV than an UCAV with thsi very long span?!

No idea, though people on Weibo refers it as CH-7.

Speaking of which, here's the first ever video of the CH-7 (prototype?) conducting taxiing tests on a runway. Originally posted by @苏情局报告 on Weibo.

Interesting hard points (?) on the rear of the fuselage. Provision for rudders? or is it something else?

Looks like the CH-7 might be packing heat in the form of the YJ-21E.
