According to recent posts, a new VT-5 light tank will debut at the exhibition. We do not know any technical information, but there are a couple of possibilities:
1. This is the export iteration of the "Rabbit" light tank that has been unveiled online for the past years.
2. This is the export iteration of the PLA's next-generation MBT, which would weigh ~40 tons. Henri K. claims that a prototype might have been completed by 2014. According to speculation, this vehicle would have an electrothermal gun, improved versatility, increased situational awareness.

a "classified aircraft" provided by PLA (not SAC or AVIC, and in chinese it is a "fighter" not a helo...), so there is a very good chance J-20 is to fly at Zhuhai Airshow.
When J-31 appeared in the last airshow, it also was described as a "classified", but the provider was AVIC instead of PLA.

Looks like we might be in luck for a J-20 performance after all. Do we know if there will also be a static display?

Well, the list of aircraft that falls under "classified" is actually quite long - Z-20, Z-18, J-20, J-10C, J-15 (the catapult-launched version), plus a few other UCAV from time to time, since they are all still yet to be officially debuted they are officially "classified".a "classified aircraft" provided by PLA (not SAC or AVIC, and in chinese it is a "fighter" not a helo...), so there is a very good chance J-20 is to fly at Zhuhai Airshow.
