No, what seems to be a publicity stunt was no more than out of necessity...if only Chinese roads are as well lit and drivers are as law abiding as with the advanced nations, they could've done so at the dead of night with the least interference to the general public. Whatever you saw was nothing more than unintended fanfare.

I'd call it a publicity stunt when SAC have a flyable prototype out there flight testing.

Mind you, state enterprises such as SAC are largely immune to public opinions, nonetheless SAC has been loathed as "沈霍伊" "Shenkhoi" (a mesh-up word combining "Shenyang" and "Sukhoi") for its lack of innovations(just recycled iterations of Su-27 and crappy old J-8); whereas CAC have J-10, JF-17 and Project 817 to prove their trove of innovations. Still, for professions such as those of aviation industry, to garner points and other things from its rival you need more than a wind tunnel / stress-test sample, you need a flight-worthy prototype.

Ok, then so China do have the technology to transport this in secret, it maybe a bit harder, but very possible. But yet, they choose to transport it all over China in and out some of the most busiest cities. And of course, this has absolutely no intention to "show off", it is nothing but a simple byproduct of innocent laziness, because they cant' be bothered to do a proper military cover up.

Just saying, I originally said this is getting surreal because everyone it taking notice of it in China and internet is going nuts over this, then you said China have no choice but to transport it, then I said oh I guess China don't have the technology to transport it in secret, then you said OFC the all mighty China do, but this plane is not really a secret anymore because of the model display, and this plane has became some kind of Duanwu festival symbol, then I said, back to my original claim that the way they decide to transport this is part of a publicity attention stunt... And of course you says NOOOO again. I don't know if you understand just how funny this is.

I think you missed out on the part where it says it takes 4-6 months to reassemble this thing. No one said it was impossible, just not feasible. No idea what you're complaining about.
