Y-20B with WS20 took off for maiden flight today. WS20 has been in flight test for around 6-7 years, I believe it won't take long for the Y-20B to complete its flight test with it. WS20 will increase the payload and/or range of Y-20 by a certain amount. WS20 is also the plan B for C919. And with WS20 ready for service, CJ-1000 might not be too far off. They're already assembling the first CJ-2000 for ground test.

The hard point refueling system on Y-20U.
This tanker will be able to refuel aircraft with large internal fuel tanks, from smaller aircraft J-16, J-20 to large aircraft H-6N, KJ-500 etc. Potentially future H-20 as well.
