Coming up next:
A Long March 3B rocket will launch Beidou-3 M27/28 satellites for China's Beidou global navigation system 1:43 UTC 9 May 2024
A Long March 4C rocket will launch XX satellites 23:00 UTC 11 May 2024
A Galactic Energy Ceres-1 rocket will launch XX satellites 4:00 UTC 20 May 2024
A Long March 3B rocket will launch XX satellites 12:00 UTC 30 May 2024

I have serious doubts if China is able to conduct 100 orbital launches in 2024 at current launch cadence.

Q: Will Chinese launch cadence resume 10+ orbital launches in one calendar month?
A: Stay tuned.

your concern is understandable. All private launches are grounded by the invisible hand.

Mission patch. This is also the 522th orbital launch of Long March rocket family since 1970.

It seems the Chinese launch cadence is mildly increasing in May. Still unsatisfying.

Q: Will Chinese launch cadence resume 10+ orbital launches in one calendar month?
A: Stay tuned.
