How is wingspan a challenge? This plane would certainly be able to fold its wings just like E-2C/D.I think the wingspan is the challenge. It provides considerably less space next to the runway to park aircraft.

That's just too lazy for a CGI. It is E-2 with Chinese insignia slapped on.Nice CGI of KJ 600 When are we going to see this in real?
KJ-600 CGI by Lovely_Swift.
Except for the non-rotating radome.That's just too lazy for a CGI. It is E-2 with Chinese insignia slapped on.

Considering the real KJ-600 will likely look very similar to that, I'd say the CGI is probably on point.
A lazy CGI would be if they took a preexisting CGI of an E-2 and slapped a Chinese insignia on it. This entire piece of work is original.
If you really want to attribute laziness, you could say the Chinese Navy is lazy for using a similar proven configuration to the E-2 platform for their carrierborne AEW&C, but I'd argue that is more a reflection of the Navy being practical and safe.
The vertical stabilizers on this CGI are about the same size as the ones on the E-2 but there are only two of them, which means they are probably insufficient to control yaw in their current configuration.Sorry to disagree and even if I agree the KJ-600 will most likely share the same overall configuration and size, this is plain and simple (at least IMO) a lazy 1 on 1 copy of a Hawkeye just with PLANAF-markings on.
I don't know in what certain details it will differ or if it will even look like this one...

I for myself hope that it will at least be a bit more different.
