Landspace to attempt first private Chinese orbital launch on October 27 https://goo.gl/Pjc9rn
I have to say that there was nothing new as seen from Chinese sources since the IAC annoucement. Also because the supply chain of solid motors was apparently severed, ZQ-1 will apparently be a one-off vehicle - they will have to wait for their methane ZQ-2 in any case later.

I understood from Landspace that the supply severing affected the previous LS-1 planned launcher, leading to the development of the (less capable) ZQ-1. At least that's how they were framing playing it.

These were what my impressions are through reading Chinese forums so take that with some salt. However it seems that the initial plans for both Landspace and OneSpace were more akin to the (Deke Slayton era) Conestoga, where all the engines/motors were purchased outright.
