Is this for real and not PSed?. the guy who posted this give this for summary
It said after test flight many times, still afraid of 1 failure and won't disclose to the public until perfectly tested
So he posted this pictures to clarify its happening (test flights) even though he claimed PS picture (stay out of trouble for leaking)

Seems like Hendrik_2000 was able to do so.

It's a matter of etiquette.

I'm not able to translate everything effectively either, but if I cannot I think it would be courteous to at least excuse myself or apologize for it and request someone else to do it for me.


... and at least provide a brief summary for what I think it supposedly mentions, rather than just a smiley. What is ";)" meant to mean for people who can't read Chinese??

Sure, but not everyone who can read chinese has time to translate, and in the meantime a lot of needless confusion gets generated.

Fair enough, I'll add a short blurb to future image posts.

Suffice it to say that, if you need a summary, it doesn't cost you an arm or leg to quote my post and ask.

Suffice to say, if you're posting a screenshot of a post in another language where the text is the focus of it, I think it's reasonable to expect more than ";)"


Optimally, providing some context for what a screenshot or a textpost would be useful, as well as a translation of course.

But if that cannot be managed -- which is fair enough as not everyone can translate Chinese and my reading of it is not perfect either -- then at least say in the post that you don't know what you're posting and you'd appreciate it if someone could translate for you.



Even now, multiple posts after, I'm still not sure what you're trying to express with that post, nor do I know if you know what the words themselves mean or what the words mean in context of a larger discussion that was had, or if you do know what it means and you're winking because you think everyone else here also naturally knows what it means, or what.

Because I can read and understand the sentences which is written there but I have no idea what it means without some context. As it is, I'm not sure how on earth it's meant to relate to the future bomber, because that text post seems more like a reply to someone else or refuting something which has happened/transpired rather than reporting a new development or something.


edit: I mean, even posting a comment about the user who originally made this weibo post would be useful. Is he a big shrimp, is he someone with a reputation or a track record, or is he just a random? Or in other words, please tell us what you know about this post overall. If you know nothing, then we'd appreciate it if you're upfront about it.

Don't know if the OP is a "big shrimp or not", but according to third-party translations provided earlier, it seems as if the H-XX is undergoing some sort of test and that OPSEC won't likely be loosened until they've ironed most of the potential issues out.

Your guess is as good as mine, in which case I doubt an accurate translation would have implications beyond what is presented at face value.
