There's not a single frame that includes the VP that doesn't come out as horribly cringe.

It's an ongoing attempt by China's rocket scientists to fish for political and finical support from the central party by proposing Chinese equivalents to the West's latest super rocket. It started life as the CZ-X trying to keep up with the Ares V. It went through a few minor changes as the large staged-combustion engines China was developing repeatedly failed to meet the rocket's proposed needs before transforming into >>15167873 around 2016 when it looked like China might be about to snag RD-180 tech from Russia. After that fell apart it started looking like >>15167878 when everyone caught onto the fact that they should be imitating SpaceX instead of NASA before settling into >>15167871 as the "final" form. This version actually has official approval and funding from the people in charge of things so there should be only limited changes going forward.
