A light Google search reveals the next shoe to drop from Chinese design bureaus will be a stealth bomber---the H-8.
Several Chinese language blogs are talking about it and it just plain makes sense. A glaring hole in Chinese force projection is the lack of a bomber with hemispheric reach.
A nation that is putting up a space station, has designed its own stealth fighter/striker and is producing 4.5 gen fighters surely is capable of producing a modern bomber...at least equal to the B-1.
Yet we still haven't seen it.
And that's why I predict the next shoe to drop from the land of the Dragon will be a stealth bomber.
Imagine designing a defense for a carrier when they have several regiments of homegrown stealth bombers to throw into the mix.
