Typo gents. Meant to type in "Y20" not "J20".Cargo masters loading up a J20. This is clearly not an air-drop mission going by the volume of cargo being loaded:

Two Z20 (Copyhawk
) prototypes 635 and 636 pictured in high altitude testing at an airport in Tibet:
Close-ups of the Z20's engine from earlier this year suggest that these prototype may be powered by the WZ-10, 1600kw class turboshaft engine diplayed at the 2017 China Helicopter Expo:

Cross-post:
Remember the KLJ-7A AESA radar from the 2016 Zhuhai airshow?
Recent stills from a CCTV report show the radar being tested aboard an AVIC Y7 based airborne radar test-bed.
NRIET's KJ7A display at the 2016 Zhuhai Airshow:
The Nanjing Research Institute of Electronic Technology's (NRIET's) KLJ7A AESA is a development of the KLJ7 mechanical scanning radar that currently features on the JF17 Block I and II. All things considered, the Block III JF17 will most likely sport this AESA.

An informative post on the PLA's infantry support shoulder fired weapons from the China Defense Blog:

Cool Pictures of PLA's Infantry Support Weapons and Their Warheads.
Not your father's RPG:
There is lack of media coverage on PLA's infantry support weapons in the West outside of a few video games; since they are an important component of PLA's TOE and it just happened that the PLA Daily has a bunch of cool photos of them. It is time to take a look.
A front-line PLA infantry platoon is now armed by three different rockets, PF97, PF08 and PF98A. This has been so for since the 2000s. PF97 and PF08 are both 80mm one-shot-wonders. PF97 weighting in about 8.15 lb including the warhead - meant for anti-personal and anti-tank roles - is issued to infantry fire team. The 16.7 lb PF08 with its breaching warhead maximized against bunkers and light fortifications is found at weapon platoon.
The 120mm "Queen Bee" PF98A, weighting in 22lb and a crew of 2, is now issued to infantry squad. A fire-control (laser rangefinder plus ballistics computer) variant is found at company level.
Nice shot of PF08's bunker breaching round
PF08 AKA DZJ08

PF-98A 120mm with its anti-armor HEAT round inflight. Penetration is rated at 800mm against harden steel
Notice the disposable canister behind the launch tube

East Pendulum Article on the "Blue Sword" Navy exercise held in the East China Sea. Interesting pics of Type 056 corvettes performing low-altitude intercepts of anti-ship cruise missile targets with HQ10 Short Range SAM's.
"Blue Sword", 40 warships and HQ-10
BY
HENRI KENHMANN
DECEMBER 13, 2017
The Chinese navy conducted last Thursday an important annual assessment exercise in the East China Sea. More than 40 warships from three major Chinese fleets competed together in different events, one of which was specifically highlighted by the official Chinese military journal, the use of HQ-10 self - defense missiles. by the Type 056 corvettes to intercept the YJ-83J's own Chinese anti-ship missiles .
The objective of this exercise, dubbed "Blue Sword Cup", according to officers from the training department of the Chinese Naval Staff, is to assess the ability of the buildings to defend autonomously against low-level threats, whether anti-aircraft missiles or military aircraft, without any prior support of data and in a "special tactical context".
According to the article published on December 8, it is the 523 Putian frigate , class Type 053H3 , which opened the lease by firing the first anti-ship missile. The 509 Huai'an corvette of the Eastern Fleet was then selected to intercept it alone, firing two HQ-10 missiles one after the other, about a second apart.
The Chinese TV channel CCTV-7's televised report shows that the two HQ-10s hit their flying target near the sea surface. The photos published by the Chinese navy suggest that at least four corvettes of the same model also fired afterwards, during which they had to assess the damage result alone and decide whether another wave of anti-aircraft missiles should be launched.
Assessment officers on each vessel participating in the exercise.

Other Type 056 corvettes fired in their turn
The difference between FL-3000N and the HQ-10, these two are designed by two distinguished manufacturers (Image: East Pendulum)
The question then arises as to what is the so-called "tactical context" and why the other Chinese frigates and destroyers, who also participated in the exercise and yet more versatile in terms of capabilities and power, have not been put under the fire of the designers this time.
If we consider the latest maneuvers of the Air Force and the Chinese Navy in the direction of the East China Sea in November and December, we will notice that the island of Taiwan was directly or indirectly concerned. Next, the "Blue Sword Cup" exercise focuses not on the projection of forces but on the self-defense of ships and fleets, conducted by small escort ships. One can then assume, if these two events are related, that the Chinese Navy would like to simulate the coordinated protection of its landing fleets by the new corvettes, once the first-tier ships are deployed to defend the Anti-Access & Area line. Denial (A2 / AD) against all enemies who could come to the aid of the Taiwanese armed forces.
This explains why institutional media have instead focused on these Type 056 corvettes and their ways of coordinating their efforts only on "big" ones.
Of course this is one of the possible hypotheses and other explanations are also plausible, we should then wait for further exercises to look at all these maneuvers as a whole.
