Yeah a museum piece that requires full SWAT escort and shutting down entire sections of a national expressway. The fuselage is placed on a specialty aircraft ground transportation jig that secures the fuselage via a number of supporting points linked to the air frame structure.
I'm don't know aye, I'm waiting for DEW and/or ares to make a post about it.
I think DEW mentioned F-60 when it first showed up, and I think they kind of mocked it as a F-22/35 hybrid (can't remember fully), even though almost all medium stealth fighters under development these days look like mini F-22s. It'll be interesting to see how they react to potentially two stealth planes making first flights in two years.

If it does turn out to be the J-21 are they going to claim it just a stealthier L-15? It's not really surprising that the general news doesn't report it. I personally haven't seen TV news report about the Shenzhou 9 launch. They don't need to just as long as they don't expect the world to live by how they interpret it.

Contrary to the stereotype we've seen plenty of military hardware all the way to a supposed DF-41 rolling on the roads in public being transported. This is a first where you actually seen the security in the pic.
