It would be funny if the beat SS, NG and Vulcan to orbit this year
Landspace has completed assembly of the first stage of its first Zhuque-2 liquid methane-liquid oxygen launch vehicle. The stage is powered by 4 x Tianque-12 engines. A test launch expected this year. Potentially the first methalox launcher to orbit. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Qy4GQxPJGcQXgGcDNVvJ3w …pic.twitter.com/PfE3nt2H9z

In it's weibo, It said will test the engine assembly first. May be in few days. Coz the Chinese big hoilday spring festival is only 8 days away. I will check the local 911 to see if they issue any warnings of that test

Lots of progress on tanking from what we've seen previously. I was like 30% sure they were outsourcing the production of the tanking, but now no longer confident. Also since when is ZQ-2 payload to LEO 6 tons (from link)? Were they previously sandbagging their capabilities?pic.twitter.com/jQOTBEjYVY

I was wondering myself about the outsourcing (ZQ-1 clearly put together at CASC facility). It was 4,000 kg to 200 km LEO before, IIRC, but now website says 6tn to 200 km LEO, 4tn to 500 km SSO. That's...almost CZ-8. Will seek clarification.

ven though SpaceX was the first to create the Methane Engine, it looks like China will be the first to bring it into orbit.

But not back down in one piece the only thing that matters!

Looks like there is enough space in between the nozzles for hepta cluster engine. If they are using ZQ-2 in solely expendible configuration, I am sure they will rapidly iterate to fly a falcon-9 class vehicle in 2 years.
