CCTV live stream begins at 11:00 UTC. Landing scheduled for around 13:40 UTC, 14th Dec.

That's a couple of hours than they originally scheduled. I wonder what caused the change?

The surveillance baseline only has a length of eight hours or so, so they don't have much leeway in actual landing window if they need the touch-down to be visible.

Here's a compilation of latest news ( from yesterday )

Do you have a link to a live stream?

Not yet. Looks like 4 more hours to go for live stream to begin. I'm following this thread for updates:

Stream is now live, landing should be around 13:40 UTC IIRC.

CCTV have just ( as of 11:30 UTC ) announced live coverage from 20:00 to 22:00 Beijing Time.
