I saw this photo too earlier today on another site while searching "F-117 Flying Again"? on the web. Although the blog said the front of the fusalage appears to be missing, a closer look reveals it is still there (the grey simply blending into the parking lot due to the angle of the sun). So China has a full mock-up of the F-117? Interesting...

There was something else that said the remaining pieces of the one F-117 that was shot down in 1999 during the Kosovo War were sold to China (after the Yugoslavia Army allowed the Russians to inspect the crashed plane first???). Although the pilot was rescued by U.S. forces, I believe the wreckage of the plane survived in enemy hands. Another F-117 was said to have been hit by enemy fire (anti-aircraft missles) during the same conflict.
