FTA: "A report published by China Aviation Journal, China has successfully launched its own space plane prototype"

China successfully launched their own unmanned spaceplane into orbit two months ago. See the following news links for more in-depth info:

The spaceplane that was launched into orbit is all in probability derived from the Shenlong spaceplane, and makes China the third nation (after the US and Russia to launch a spaceplane into orbit). The question is whether the new unmanned orbital spaceplane has a classified military purpose like the X-37B.
