There's an urgent need to increase China's launch cadence to the goal of 150~ 200 annual orbital launches in the next 24 months. Stay tuned.

A Long March 2D rocket launched multiple satellites 15 Apr 2024.
This was China's 16th orbital launch this year.

I have serious doubts if China is able to conduct 100 orbital launches in 2024 at current launch cadence.
Only one launch over the past two weeks. This is no good sign. Not sure about if the upcoming Shenzhou-18 mission disrupted everything. Anyway, stay tuned.

Roundup for Apr 2024
China conducted only four orbital launches in Apr 2024. Shenzhou-18 crewed mission and Chang'e 6 lunar sample return mission could be responsible for the unsatisfying launch cadence.
Q: Will Chinese launch cadence resume 10+ orbital launches in one calendar month?
A: Stay tuned.
