A clip of the Pak Sat Launch from CN..
Is this a geo stationary satellite?
There are two distinct production lines, Gesi is in the "G60 Satellite Internet Industrial Base" in Songjiang district, Shanghai, SECM's production line is in Lingang new Area of the Pudong District of Shanghai.
Gesi's factory is fully dedicated to Qianfan while SECM's factory in Pudong district is shared for various projects.
The idea of SECM/Microsat as only a "research arm" may be outdated, it has been one of China's leading satellite manufacturer for the past few years and in scale is currently third only to CAST and SAST in China.
It went from less than 30 satellites produced from 2003 to 2022 to 150 produced since 2022.
Another way of knowing besides orbital data is that remote sensing satellites are mostly in SSO orbit. Yet another way to know is by the launch vehicle which in this case is solid rocket, there is no GTO capable solid rocket yet and probably will never be.

General
A brief summary of the Jilin remote sensing constellation and Changguang, its parent company/operator.
The constellation now has 138 satellites in operation and can revisit any spot 35 to 37 times per day. Changguan has also put into operation phase I of its satellite production base, which occupies 97,300 sqm and has an annual production capacity of 100 satellites.
Changguang has with the great city of Hangzhou to set up a second manufacturing base, with a planned production capacity of 1,000 satellites annually.
