#1 radar systems work over a pretty broad range, say 0.5 Giga Hertz to 50 Giga Hertz and there are other detection systems that work outside this range

so it takes multiple techniques to really do the job of creating stealth

#2 We lost that F-117 over Serbia in 1999, cyber-espionage and the ye olde 'cloak & dagger' so they surely have samples. Getting multiple planes that you don't have to laboriously repaint with multiple layers of different RAM coatings every time before it takes off -- now that is difficult.

#3 If you have an advantage, you don't publicize it.

#4 Consider it part of the PSYOPs against Taiwan and their other neighbors and it makes sense... Also internal propaganda, of course.

Must be true. We haven't detected a single one of them yet!

#6 China said last month a lab successfully produced invisibility material in bulk
So they stick it a warehouse and can never locate it again?

#7 Invisibility already cloaks the massive Chinese carfentanil imports to the USA.
