Woow !
The pressure is maintained in Tibet, here Lhassa-Gonggar airport at 12 Oct with at least 18 J-11A fighters (98th Brigade?) And 2 new AWACS KJ-500.
In another Chinese airport in Tibet, Shigatsé-Heping, the 3 ELINT EA-03 drones were still there at the same time

Here is a rare glimpse into PLAAF's current training doctrines.
"This is the most challenging aerial combat assessment from the Air Force in recent years," said Li Ling, four time Golden Helmet Exercise participant and an Air Force Chief of Staff of the Northern Theater of Command, after climbing down from his aircraft. The Golden Helmet Exercise is getting closer and closer to real aerial combat and allows the pilots to understand that "aerial combat should actually be like this and that I can actually beat my opponents this way".
During one match in this year's exercise, two pilots violated the rules by relying on ground based guidance too many times and were each docked two points, which led to them losing the match. Ground based guidance has severe limitations in real life combat scenarios.
I'll translate the rest of them once I get back from work.

Oh YES, much appreciated.

Despite using inferior equipment than their peers during their first match, pilots from Brigade X of the Eastern Theater of Command charged headlong into the enemy formation and forced them to disperse. They ended up winning the match by a large margin.
More importantly, combat exercise assesses a pilot's courage. On the sixth day of the Golden Helmet 2017 aerial competition, squad leader Wang Jinglong from Brigade Y of the Northern Theater of Command felt lingering fears as he descended from his plane. During the medium range aerial combat that had just concluded, he played the role of the defender and was repeatedly "locked on" by his opponent and his cockpit resonated with the shrill unending alarms. Wang Jinglong performed strenuous aerial maneuvers the moment the "missile" chased after him and finally escaped its killing radius by pushing the accelerator to the maximum level. Following the exercise, an examination of the combat simulation data revealed that the missile was only 270 meters away from his plane at the closest approach.

Wow, I did not know that there is training for after missile lock! I thought for everywhere, a lock was simply equated to a kill, yet they somehow managed to simulate a missile chasing after its target? Does any other country do this?Continued.

Yeah, this is also the first time that I'm aware that the air exercises simulate the trajectory of the actual missiles as well.
Although thinking back, I recalled watching an official Boeing documentary on the Red Flag exercise on YouTube, there was a scene where a kill was achieved by cannon fire. There was a noticeable gap between when shots were fired and the kill when those shots hit its target.

On the fifth day of the Golden Helmet 2017 competition, combat aircraft unit piloted by squad leader Yao Kai and vice leader Gao Zhongqiang from Regiment X of the Northern Combat Theater were pitted against two fighters from Regiment Y. Since they only won one of the two prior matches, the third match will determine who can enter the final match.
The participating aircraft were entwined in intense aerial combat as soon as they left the ground. The opponents were not to be underestimated since they were two-time Golden Helmet winners. After several rounds of intense fighting, alarm suddenly blared within Gao Zhongqiang's headphones, which led him to deduce that his opponent had already "launched missile" and that his aircraft was within the missile's unescapable killing radius. As the "missile" approached him, Gao Zhongqiang suddenly wheeled the nose of his plane about at maximum G-force capacity and captured, locked on, and fired his missile against his opponent in one fell swoop.
Examination of the results showed that all four planes were shot down during the encounter. However, Gao and Yao's team prevailed by gaining the achievement point and as a result won an important match. Gao Zhongqiang stated that "even if I were shot down, I still have to complete my mission even if it means that I may perish alongside my opponent."

Interesting to see how many DF-41 China would deploy ? This missiles clearly intended for the North America ... DF1-31s series would cover the US as well and Russia and EU and DF-21s and DF-26s series would cover everything else (Asia, including India)
I'd guess up to 75 DF-41 missiles will be deployed both in Silo and mobile
Interesting whether China would still keep good old DF-5s series missiles
