I catch some words (П-20! B-17! P2V-7U!) and I think they are talking about early Soviet radars and usage to counter American planes flying over China. But since I do not read a word of Chinese, I can only stare at the pretty pictures.

Can any comrades be good enough to tell me in rough what it is? I had no idea China had an AEW programme that far back (the dates are in the 50s and 60s).

Yes, the KJ-1 is based on a Tu-4 (Soviet B-29 copy) with a revolving disk on top. The plane is now in some museum in Beijing.
