There's something you should see. I have a photo of what appears to be AVIC engineers working on a blueprint for a bomber... and it looks almost exactly like an upside down bat, with variable geometry wings:

The B-2 is considered a hybrid flying wing. The design is to minimize rear aspect radar return.Flying wings do not have its airfoils swept at different angles, as opposed to a bat.

Flying Wings
The flying wing still offered excellent performance and fuel efficiency advantages. But Northrop's designers also chose a flying wing configuration because it offered advantages for stealth; a vertical tail such as found in a conventional aircraft reflects radar energy. Eliminating it increased the aircraft's stealthiness, particularly from the side. The B-2 is capable of carrying as many bombs inside it as the larger B-52 and flying just as far. Although only 21 of these planes are in service, they played a major role in the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia, which had a sophisticated air defense system, and are generally regarded as an amazing technological achievement, albeit a very expensive one.
Hence why I think pupu meant B-2 like flying wing when he said upside down bat.If the H-10 followed the design shown in the photo I posted, then it would not be very stealthy due to the different sweep angles and the inconsistencies within the airfoils and body.

Yes, there are a huge fleet of stealth fighters & bombers which China "might" have developed from reversed engineering of a down UFO's in Central China earlier yet!![]()
