They seem pretty concerned. I think we should consider not naming names that obviously even more.

I second this, and also think it may be useful to try and be economical about what is discussed here in the leadup to the reveal.
Directly citing and naming people may have blowback to them.
Of course, if a major milestone occurs like a first flight, with specific design features being stated in confidence, then that's another thing but people will have to exercise their own judgement.
Agree. Keeping this on and we may inadvertently send them to the MSS.
However, the issue then becomes how do we know whether the new information/claim/rumor posted in this forum comes from sources on the Chinese side of the Internet that have reputable degrees of reliability/dependability?
Perhaps we could use some kind of term/acronymn like HCS (High-Credible-Source)? But this also brings the risks of people (unknowingly or knowingly) absuing it.
Double verification of source+information would be required by moderators, IMHO.
Is there even a single case of someone having charges pressed for taking pics without trespassing? So I don't think that is a risk. CAC would not fly planes in the middle of the city if it was not intended as a public flight.Agree. Keeping this on and we may inadvertently send them to the MSS.

To me it sounds rather sarcastic. But I might be fooled by google translate..They seem pretty concerned. I think we should consider not naming names that obviously even more.

Surely an actual maiden flight in the middle of a city of 21 million people cannot be hidden by any security measures, taxi test maybe.
For J-20 how long was the interval between start of taxi test and maiden flight?
Take it with a mountain of salt but the latest rumor is that it will be a Christmas present. If it comes earlier then Christmas came early.

Great. Planning to cook a huge meal during Christmas too and my salt is running out.Looks like the only salt will be coming from Reddit soyboys after all.
