Definitely very weird on the Landspace front.
I think this should have been expected after the establishment of the office of commercial space. So i think we should expect to see much more rigorous or bureaucratic screenings for every commercial launch vehicles/rockets this coming years. So i think we should expect even more delays going forward than before. I won't be surprised if even Long March 12 is delayed again(even though it might be unlikely since it's made by an established/proven state owned company like CASC, but might not be the same for all the new private players). So It might be a good thing or bad thing for China, only time will tell.

If it stops that one company from changing their name every week I'll be happy with the new office.

Shijian-28 was successfully launched just a short while ago, on a Long March 7A from LC201. Quickest turnaround for both rocket and launchpad.

This was the 13th launch of the Long March 7A, the 23rd launch of the Long March 7 overall (series-wise), and the 611th launch of a Long March rocket. This was also the 77th launch from China in 2025, bringing us ever-so close to the 80 launch mark.
