So, China did another LM-2C launcher earlier today.

This one is a bit more interesting than the usual totally-not-a-military-spysat launch. The payload today was Apstar-6E, a high-throughput geostationary comsat. That's unusual because the LM-2C is a dink of a rocket that can only lift 4.3 tons to LEO. Apstar's going to use a large kickstage to boost it into an eccentric orbit before crawling the rest of the way to GEO using onboard electric propulsion.
