Long March 8 Y5 has been transferred to launchpad No. 1 of Hainan Commercial Spaceport. She will be the first rocket to be launched from launchpad No. 1.

A peek at the Long March 8 Y5 inside the enclosed launchpad No. 1, showing the payload fairing containing the next batch of Qianfan/SpaceSail satellites to be launched.

Looks like spacesail is quite ahead of the central government one despite starting a few years later.
Will be interesting to see which private space launch company will be the first to win contract to start launching these megaconstallations.
