They're testing components. It seems to me that YF-215 in 2023 was at approximately the development stage of Raptor in 2014. So they seem to be about on track for the stated schedule of a CZ-9 first launch in 2033, which is not long after a flag-and-footprint landing in 2029

>China will need something equivalent to the Long March 9
They have an idea of assembling a base using pressurized moon carts (picrel). Could they perhaps be built light enough to be sent individually with CZ-10?
