The X-37B theory is busted, but Igor Lissov of Novosti Kosmonavtiki noted that the Chinese spaceplane seems to be co-planar and very close to orbit of @NatReconOfc's USA-276 (launched as NROL-76 back in May 2017 - w/ spectacular F9 1st stage RTLS)!

Yes ish. The orbital plane is currently about 10 degrees off from USA 276, but the orbit is 50 km lower. So there's plenty of room for it to sync up, but it's not super close to it right now

where do you get ten degrees? inclination is very close and the raan is much farther than that.
