Here is the actual link. Obviously the unit is still equipped with older H-6s, but they have one H-6K either prepared for Xi's visit, or for initial training before more are equipped. Given that they have CJ-10 on it, I say more are coming.

Not exactly correct. If You look both at the versions and their serials You can note that this unit - actually the 36. Bomber Division - operates two versions:

H-6H operated by the 107th AR at Lintong (serials 40x7x - xx = 01-49) and the
H-6H/M operated by the 108th AR at Wugong (serials 40x7x - xx = 51-99)

Examples are H-6H with 40x7x-serial and xx within the 01 - 15 range
H-6H 40076 + 40075 +40077 - 36. Div.jpg
H-6H 40175 + 40174 - 36. Div.jpg

and H-6M with 40x7x-serials like the one aircraft serialled 40771 loaded with KD-20 ALCMs and ECM-pod. Also known is 40576 and 40770.
H-6M 40771 - 36. Div - 17.2.15 - + KD-20 + ECM-pod.jpg


Regarding the H-6K shown, I think it's an aircraft with an 1xxxx-serial and as such most likely from the 8. Bomber Division.
