China's Innovative Strategy for Manned Moonshot in 2030

TL;DR Summary
China has revised its plan for a manned moon landing in 2030, opting to use two Long March 10 carrier rockets instead of the previously planned super-heavy Long March 9. The new plan involves launching a moon surface lander and manned spacecraft separately, which will then dock with each other during moon orbit to complete the landing. The Long March 9 rocket's launch has been pushed back to 2035 as Chinese scientists focus on developing methane-powered engines. Chinese researchers are currently working on the Long March 10, a new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar lander, lunar landing spacesuit, and manned lunar rover.
