After a couple months of delays caused by the Yagi Typhoon, the CZ-12 is ready for its inaugural launch NET November 30 at 13:30 UTC.

And indeed, both inaugural launches were successes, Both carried technological demonstrators for LEO broadband internet constellations, based on previous announcement and orbital data, Zhuque 2E's payloads (Guangchuang 1&2) are likely related to Landspace's subsidiary Hongqing project of megaconstellation, and the inaugural CZ-12's payloads (Weixing Hulianwang Jishu Shiyan & Jishu Shiyan 03) are likely related to Guowang, which, by the way, is likely to have its true proper batch launch in as little as two weeks onboard the CZ-5B heavy launcher.
