I think it's a woman.

Seems to be long hair resting on the upper left side (left from the photo)
H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)

Lol and get another Weibo account nuked. No thank you.
If it is accurate, then one wonders why they didn’t just fill in the angle between the onboard and outboard leading edges to align the leading edges and reduce the number of planform alignment angles.
This is the second instance of the folding V tail.
Isn't it?
But that model isn't closer to H-20. It is 'closer' to the JH-XX.
But those wings... It's length.
An ideal Chinese stealth bomber must be able to be produced in numbers ( like H6 series), will have to fly Close to the surface ( to evade radars) and must be able to evade OTH radars to launch cruise missiles and bombs.
China's adversaries have strong radar cover. Depending on stealth alone isn't a viable long term strategy.

This looks far too small to be a strategic bomber. It also doesn’t look plausible as the reputed tactical bomber to replace the JH-7. The dorsal inlet would be extremely vulnerable to disturbed air if the aircraft assume any Angle of attack required to pull any significant G. I call this BS.
And I thought Tactical bombers end with JH-7.
These are strategic bombers. All of them bigger than B-21 ( around 45m in wingspan). Very big aircrafts.
You are right that dorsal inlet would cause issues at high angles of attack but for clumsy flying wings, I don't think that's a big tradeoff.
How did you guess the size of the aircraft from a model?
from the size of the canopy.
That canopy would only suggest a bigger aircraft. The B-21 and B-2 canopies are similar ( if not larger from the top view).
I would've used the engine bump or landing gears to guess the size.
