I remember this paragraph is an English reply. Maybe I copied it wrong?

And yes, seems you copied the wrong text, since it is still visible only in Chinese:

I deleted my post after I realised that he was not referring to any link or any source, but reacting to postings of other members. And my message seem to be out of line vs his posting contents or posting style. LOL!
A J-36 with three WS-15 engines will probably have similar payload capability to a B-2.
The only question is if China considers extra range necessary or not.
The J-36 can likely replace H-6 in regional bomber role.
An H-20, to have a niche, would need intercontinental range. I think this makes the six engine design likely to be an option.

Hard disagree. China couldn't benefit from a long range bomber until recently. Especially the Tu-160 is no cheap aircraft. It is a huge and swing wing aircraft that flies using four unicorn engines. Establishing the base infrastructure and maintenance networks for that aircraft would be very expensive. And it is doubtful if China could get more than 10 until the late-2010s. Even Russia itself couldn't restart the production until very recently.
And if we are talking about the post-2015 world, there is no point in growing a fleet of that kind of bombers. VLO is the way to go. Hence the H-20
Basically a nothingburger
