I just don't think the DF-31A uses the same warhead as the DF-21/JL-2

Apparently, the Chinese have tested a solid-fueled scramjet missile:

The Chinese also allegedly tested another scramjet vehicle in 2012:
An ongoing rumor claims that the Chinese are developing variable-cycle engines for a manned very-high-speed reconnaissance aircraft:

Check Henri K last photo on this thread on forummarine.
I have never seen this photo before. its an ICBM, no doubt about that. DF-41? Notice that the canister is always hidden.
It would be really interesting to see this on next month parade, instead of that same old df-31a.

Nice find, but this won't appear in the parade. It seems only mature systems will be in the parade. Prototypes and brand new systems won't be displayed AFAIK.
I think we will definitely (90% sure) see DF-41 in the 2019 parade, since by then the Beidou system will almost be complete. I guess the current DF-41 rocket boosters and warheads are in late stages of development, but they are waiting for the Beidou satellite navigation system to provide coverage over North America. With Beidou, the DF-41 would likely achieve similar accuracy compared to that of Trident D-5. That's my guess.
