Strong disagree, they're not done redesigning it at all.

In fact, nothing suggests that China is ready to build a heavy lift vehicle by 2029 or ever if they're going to try to put a bunch of difficult to implement features that they've never successfully flown.

So far China has yet to do achieve heavy lift and their solution to get that done is changing the design from 11m to 10.6 and back every year to allow for as little to get done as possible.

I'm not saying the Chinese can't do it, because at least to me it seems that they're trying, but this is a rocket far more complicated than the 5b and they're trying to hit a very difficult moving target.
