I've heard both December and January (and earlier), much as you have. Why exactly there could be JL-1 v CZ-11, I can't say, but big picture this and fostering the commercial sector is about driving innovation, lower costs, etc. Even CAS appears to be in on the act.
@AJ_FI Andrew, do you know what's the deal with CAST's Jielong-1 small sat launcher (some source indicating 1st flight very soon, 1 even say next month)? It looks like something that can rob half of the market of their own CZ-11. Why so many internal competitions?

Hmm.... let me count the number of small sat launchers by Chinese state-owned inst. / enterprises (not counting the likes of OneSpace/LandSpace): CZ-11 (+upgraded ver. soon) KZ-1A/11 KT-2 (suddenly popped out & then disappeared after 1 flight) Now there's JL-1; did I miss any?
