Just wondering with NASA and UAE ( didn't know that UAE has such capability! ) planning to go on a MARS mission in the same time frame, would that put pressure on China to launch before them? Anyway, LM5 is a new rocket, I hope China will do it right, not do it quick.
Nevertheless I am happy to see friendly competition among nations towards this MARS exploration endeavors.

Someone should start posting links to a live stream of this launch. I'd assume CGTN would have one but that's not always the case.
