Although this is not a live update, here's a video I made that depicts what will happen over the course of the 10-minute ascent of Shenzhou 11.
This video is mainly aimed toward those who are not familiar with the Chinese manned space program.
Credit goes to CCTV for these video clips.

After the Shenzhou-7 and 9 missions, China's Jing Haipeng has been named as one of the two astronauts to fly the Shenzhou-11 spaceship, making Jing the only astronaut in the country to be in space for three times.
In past years, China's astronauts have ventured into space with various aerospace missions. Today, the country is counting on the younger generation to conduct future missions. Ex-fighter pilot Chen Dong has been selected for the upcoming mission on Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2.

Am I understanding wrongly, (11:46) or the chinese astronauts are going to use Penguin suits for countermeasuring microgravity effects on muscles?

The crew should now be suiting up for this evening's launch. The Launch and Entry suits they wear are derivatives of the Russian Sokol suits and are said to be lighter in mass.

And a capture of the SZ-11 patch from Chen Dong's shoulder on a CCTV image
http://www.chinaspaceflight.com/manned-spacecraft/SZ11-launch.html
It's seems clear (to me) that Chinese Space Authorities design the patch, with no taikonaut input, and doesn't matter who should fly the mission.
Someone knows the translation of the chinese characters in the patch?
TG-2/SZ-11 manned flight mission.
