Found this article doing a quick google search - 9 billion USD in 2020 apparently, second to the US (48 billion).

The program showed both YF-100 and YF-100K. The one in the background in your post is YF-100.

This screen dump shows a YF-100K on the test stand.


It seems that the current CZ-5, 7 and 8 are using different variants. I guess CZ-8 uses YF-100K because CZ-8 is developed after 5 and 7 and after K became available.
