PL-X/PL-17 very long range AAM carried on a JH-7A (full image to compare), via Huitong's CMA blog. Was previously observed on J-16. Conceptually somewhat similar to Russian R-37 AAM, supposed to engage high value targets (AEWC, tankers)

New Chinese Assault Carrier Catches Fire
Black smoke has been seen billowing from China’s first Type-075 assault carrier in Shanghai, a type of aircraft carrier similar to the U.S. Navy’s America Class.

Must have been Chazman. But of course the Chinese are not asking any public statements about the fire.
In fact the day after the fire they posted photos of how the hull was already cleaned up! Impossible I say..but that's how they roll. They like to stretch the truth.

H-6J, the naval version of the H-6 Chinese bomber. It has no bomb bay, the entire fuselage is used for fuel. Under the wings it would carry 4-6 long-range AShMs like the YJ-12.
H-6J naval bomber was spotted - taken from a Malaysian oil platform - carrying 4 YJ-12 AShMs and ECM-pods during a long range recon/"show of force" mission over the disputed South China Sea.
