The long time mystery of where the new Chinese Long March rockets - along with Chinese liquid fueled commercial launchers - will be based in existing launch centers seems to be partly solved by now, thanks to satellite imagery.

Closer inspection seems to show a new HIF and up to 2 new pads under construction. This is probably for the kerolox/hydrolox based Long March 8 now flying from Wenchang & also for new commercial liquid fueled launchers (Landspace ZQ-2, iSpace Hyperbola series etc.).pic.twitter.com/D8O3DUAu0e

Meanwhile in Taiyuan what is also universally identified as the Long March 6A (with SRBs) launch complex can be seen easily (red rectangle) against existing launch facilities. (orange = LC-9 for LM-2/4, green = LC-16 for LM-6, blue = old LC-7 for LM-2/4 & now for missile tests)pic.twitter.com/yxA9yVUZIX
