200 seconds taxi test
Sea level thrust: 1,223.5 kN
1,223.5 kN / 9.8 = 124 tons, am i wrong?

Are you referring to the weight of payload that the rocket can throw into orbit, or what?
Long March 5 (LM-5, CZ-5, or Changzheng 5) is a Chinese next-generation heavy lift launch system that is currently under development by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT). Currently, six CZ-5 vehicle configurations[1] are planned for different missions, with a maximum payload capacity of 25,000 kg to LEO and 14,000 kg to GTO. The Long March 5 will have the second largest "carrying capacity factor" of any rocket after Boeing's Delta IV Heavy.[2] The CZ-5 rocket is due to be first launched in 2014 from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainan island.
Long March 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
sad, not comparable with US and russia.
details?
russian got Angara, "which are to provide lifting capabilities between 2,000 and 40,500 kg into low earth orbit" from wikipedia, which is much much bigger than ours long march 5, and will be in service likely same as ours. "first flight test of Angara is now scheduled for 2013" from wikipedia, "The CZ-5 rocket is due to be first launched in 2014 from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainan island." from wikipedia.
