This drawing shows two kinds of KJ-500. The upper left one features electronic scanning antenna, tail fin, and antenna along the aft fuselage. The upper right one looks like ZDK-03 as the lower left one.

This 9391 looks like the upper right one.

Yes and no, since the upper-right one is psed and as such FAKE !!!! It is based on an image of the first ZDK-03 psed to PLANAF-colours.

Wasn't there a big fuss some years ago when Jiang Zemin's office ordered several Boeing 737s and they were all bugged? It's really no surprise, so I would be, or I am, surprised if China continued to order/use foreign made aircraft for sensitive roles no matter how much better the base platform may be compared to something China can make on their own.

The Event in Question was not involving 737 it was a 767. The Zemin Government, Bought a single Used 767 for the intended function of VIP. They Paid a Texas based company to have it done up as a flying imperial palace. Then suddenly realized OMG there was a chance of listening devices being planted.... They stated they found bugs. Never produced any but made the claim had the bird reset to passenger carry and gave it to Air China. mean while they used a Air china 747. I find it humorus as Any security expert worth his pay in the Zemin Government Should have told them it was a foolish choice. the whole thing was a Row based on a Embarrassment.
The 737 pictured here predates that by almost a decade. and is used as a command post.
