The Long March rockets come from CALT and SAST within CASC, which is state owned.
The Kinetica rockets are from CAS Space, which is state owned.
LandSpace (Zhuque rockets) is private, but their first rocket was solid fueled and probably based on a missile, so who knows. Then they pivoted to liquids.
There are more. I think i-Space is on that same solid missile to liquid arc. And Galactic Energy. And Orienspace. I guarantee I’m missing more, but there’s definitely a theme here.
It’s a mix. And I don’t fully understand it.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing what you know.
