This doesnt seem to be DF-21. Seems too wide. Look at this photo. The cannister is open. You can see the tip of the missile. Its much thinner than what appears in the that vídeo.

Unlikely because solid-fueled missiles do not need to be fueled before the launch, so what would be point of learning to fuel outdated missiles? There is pictures of 2nd Artillery Corps training launch prep with DF-15 mock up's, and why would they not do same with more important missiles like the DF-21.

This article from HK is probably very close to the truth.

I guest they have to practice for any or all kinds of scenarios whether if its solid fuel or liquid fuel missiles.

That policy is just nothing. PLA will use it when is needed, no matter what

Imagine if let's say JMSD managed (I know its highly unlikely) to destroy all PLAN and also managed to destroy three gorges dam and Shanghai financial district ... and JMSD didn't use any nuke.

Do you really think China would stick to the policy ? and PLA wouldn't use its nukes agains Japanese ?

I know it's a bit extreme, but you get my point ?:eek:

I said it's still in place, meaning it's still official. But we all know how "flexible" laws can get when it suits the people who made them in the first place.

As for your scenario, I think China will opt to bombard Japan with every conventional missile they have and possibly even try other types of WMDs like chemical or biological before using nuclear weapons.

I see. That means that DF-21 C/D is in fact a totally diferent missile from DF-21 A/B. Perhabs DF-25 (or something else) should be a more proper name to it.
