A science popularization program broadcast by Beijing Television in China.
Dong Xiwang is a leading expert in swarm intelligence in China, a professor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a doctoral advisor. He is also the recipient of the First Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress from the Chinese Society of Command and Control.
He uses knowledge that is accessible to the general public to introduce us to China's current swarm intelligence technology.

„Massive Chinese Stealth Flying Wing Emerges At Secretive Base
It's possible we are seeing a very large high-flying stealth drone or China's long awaited H-20 stealth bomber.“ (TYLER ROGOWAY)

But IMO since it was seen at Malan AB and not at Xi‘an-Yanliang, I think it is more likely „just“ a huge so far unknown UAV and surely not the H-20.

RQ-180 alike HALE strategic asset, with 52 meters wingspan it is the biggest military UAV in the world, indeed a huge news.Major news via the @thewarzonewire

An artillery based UAV
World’s first artillery-fired drones by China strike targets 6 miles away in seconds
The concept, Tianyan or “Sky Eye,” gained attention in early prototype competitions.

I don't believe that the USA, Europeans, or Russia have an equivalent system.
Its quite the innovation, and if the range is extended, could be a massive game changer.
Goes to show, the Chinese are finally advanced enough to forge ahead with new ideas and technologies on their own, and have the world follow their lead instead.

China builds artillery-fired drones to strike 6 miles away in seconds
China has achieved a breakthrough in drone warfare technology, successfully testing drones that can be fired from 155mm artillery shells.

Unfortunately, I have not seen any related reports in the Chinese media. There are also no relevant photos or videos in the news links you provided.An artillery based UAV

We have seen various types of howitzer shells modified into drone-launched munitions or suicide UAVs.
To date, we have not seen any Chinese UAVs capable of directly firing 155mm howitzer shells (Similar to the AC-130 drone version). Weapon systems such as the AC-130/A-10 are not particularly suited to China's combat philosophy. Although China already has relevant transport aircraft platforms (both manned and unmanned), it has not conducted any related modification tests.
In modern warfare concepts, the tactical concept of the JiuTian UAV is more in line with China's current tactical thinking.
So, I don't think China would be foolish enough to develop such an outdated UAV.
So, Fake news?

As it seems, we maybe have first footage - including a brief video - showing for the first time one of China‘s CCA UAV/UCAVs accompanied by a Y-8/9.
Here‘s the video:

The sound, it's probably twin engine?
