That tender is how this entire thread got started. We were speculating about it in another thread in early July 2020, then that bidding announcement was released, and this thread was started.

The doubter doubts too much to the point he even doubts those things that he himself made up and spun off. It would be nice if he reads before posting his theories and doubts.
A few mistakes in the article like overmeasuring the catapult length and incorrectly quoting me and dafeng cao on the 2017 UAV at huangdicun (Wind Shadow, not GJ-11)
Otherwise it doesn't tell us anything new but it has some decent quality pictures.
Isn't the Changxing island UAV test facility a new development?
No, it's something which has been already documented before, including on this thread back in June

Hopefully the shape of the stern definitely rules any more speculations with regards the presence or not of an angled deck.
Yes, but the CSIS article doesn't tell us anything new about that because we've had pictures of 076's overall completed stern flight deck/hull shape since early July from other sources as well that's allowed us to make that determination.
I strongly advise everyone to look at what the pictures in the CSIS article actually show and whether there's actually anything new in them versus what we have identified over the last two and a half months from the overall grapevine.
There's really nothing new in terms of what we can tell from the pictures, only that they're a bit higher quality.
