INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

China is rapidly expanding its secretive Lop Nur flight-test base — its rough equivalent of Area 51. New satellite imagery shows major taxiways, fuel infrastructure and huge new hangars capable of housing very large aircraft. TWZ says the expansion could support China’s next-generation aircraft programs, potentially including the still-secret H-20 stealth bomber, though that remains speculation. SOURCE
