successful !!!!!!!!!!!!! 
That what i said earlier. China needs to ramp up spending, because It is behind of Spacex. And the gap is widening. I don't understand why the budget of Chinese Space Agency is even lower than Japanese one.

From Internet chatter, it seems that the cryogenic second-stage YF-75D engines prematurely shut down, leading to a late separation of the second stage from the first and the eventual inability to reach the designated orbit.
Interestingly, a similar incident occurred during the maiden launch of the LM-5 in November 2016, in which the (supposed) second stage put the YZ-2 third stage and its payload on an incorrect orbit that was later rectified using the YZ-2. These two anomalies could be related and warrant further investigation.
Better now than during the upcoming Chang'e-5 launch.

China space is at healthy state. They are collecting lots of datas right now on the latest failed launch. At least it didn't explode some other programs out there. This seems to be a glitch on the second stage, but nothing that China can't resolve and try again soon.
