IGS Radar 7, Japanese SAR Spysat
Two solar panels with a wingspan of ~18m are visible, each seems to be around 4m x 7m.
Additionally, it appears that they can tilt to track the sun, this is why they become invisible at 90° phase angle.

Doesnt show the supposed parachute or any other detail.
The angle at which I photographed it would have allowed me to see a parachute if there was one.
I observed GAOFEN 11 on 1.May and it appears to be tumbling.
I measured a rotation period of about 50-60sec for a full turn.
