This time no indication of the launch time from Tiandeng county official website 
http://www.tiandeng.gov.cn/xdmzfhtml/xwzx/zw/201209173078.html (in Chinese)
Well this "on-the-field" notice does, and confirms the 19:10 UTC launch time.
BTW don't expect clear skies for this launch: the rain has just stopped (in fact deadly storms just ran over the region earlier this month).
