I don't think so look at Global Hawk, it is a beast. The Chinese one seems relatively smaller and maybe under powered. Never the less Chinese design looks maneuverable.

It's not in the same role as Global Hawk. This one is meant to provide information relay point and mid-way missile guidance to surface fleet. Chinese version of Global Hawk is coming soon though.

Everything that is "spied" on, is govt released.

No fence, not detected, less then 100 yards from a classified plane? Makes one wonder. I like the "through the bushes shot" though lol

Its just China trying to flex there chest. They still have a body like a 12 year old boy, while America is like Jay Cutler ;)
 
This isn't China's only Global Hawk type aircraft.

The one you posted in the thread can also carry air to ground munitions.

There is also the original Xiang Long (an armed version also exist):

And there is also the WZ-2000:

That makes three in total with possible one more in development.
