Seems something could be wrong. Silence from CASC so far.

This was China's 64th orbital launch this year and the 10th orbital launch this month.

Two launches today in a span of less than 5 hours:
A Long March 3B rocket will launch Beidou-3 MEO satellites for China's Beidou global navigation system 26 Dec 2023.

67 launches! Basically just China and the US in in this race. Russia at number 3 had just 19 launches in 2023.

And China has not even started launching for its mega-constellations yet like SpaceX does for Starlink
