I think he was merely being sarcastic. No one in his right mind would honestly believe that they've flown a fighter-bomber and a new 5th gen aircraft without anyone knowing.

That's quite true, especially with the fact that the SAC airstrip is basically located in the middle of a big residential area.

The secrecy levels for nuclear capable bombers could be very different to a stealth fighter. Not saying it is necessarily at a very advanced stage or even existing at all, but nuclear delivery platforms are usually not shown until they are completely or almost finished. It was like that with the 094 and the DF-41.

It’s one of the BIG programs of the PLAAF.
They have done a huge song and dance number to hype that they have it coming.

This is meant to show that they have parity with the USAF B2 and if they can get it rolled out before B21 even better.
As when it’s built they will do full court press. Propaganda news reports will be cranked to 11 H20 on everything from T shirts to wedding cakes.

According to Henri K.'s Twitter, there is a rumor that the JH-XX bomber might've made its maiden flight on June 10, 2019.

Des rumeurs parlent du premier vol d'un bombardier tactique furtif chinois qui a eu lieu le 10 Juin dans la matinée. Aucune photo n'est fuitée pour confirmer ces dires, pour le moment.

Any idea where he might've gotten the rumors from? Nothing from CJDBY or Weibo so far.

June 10 date lines up with the supposed rumour of JH-xx test flight being witnessed and leaked. Is the JH-xx based off a flanker design? Why call it an upgraded J-15 when the frame looks far from resembling a conventional fourth gen fighter frame. Doubtful that the leakers are randoms allowed to post these rumours up online. Must be all intentional. Therefore removes the possibility of them screwing up the J-15 connection. Could it be a hint at a naval or carrier connection?
