Is CZ-11 based on DF-31 or DF-41, or something else? Is it related to the Kuaizhou launch vehicle in any way? - Ed Kyle

DF-31 and -41 are 1.7m, and Kuaizhou is 1.4m.I've seen a variety of claims for the diameter of DF-31/41: 1.7m, 2.0m, 2.25m as well as disagreement on whether the DF-41 and DF-31 have the same diameter or not.What do you think is an authoritative source for the DF-31 and DF-41 diameters?
Here are some screen captures fromhttp://tv.cntv.cn/video/C10601/0ce9d9c6698140eca259f761d50843c1
Another video here, hot fire test and more complete animation. They show whats clearly a liquid engine which i'm assuming is the upper stage YF-50, but just guessing
