The official Xinhua News Agency reported that the test took place on Saturday in northwest China.

The transport plane, Y-20, puts China in the exclusive club of countries having large air lifters like the United States’ C-17 and Russia’s Il-76. And it also gives a boost to the country’s efforts to use homegrown technology to expand defense capacity.
