A 3B from xichang? Isn’t that an LEO type launch?
Apparently the Chinese is launching their next satellite TODAY at ~16:15 UTC...with no known notices at this point! And it's an unusual one - a Long March 3B from Xichang of all places with a thingy named Gaofen 13 which might be a geostationary optical spysat! NOT AGAIN!pic.twitter.com/HSbXKOzNdH

There were two distinct theories for this one - an LEO Polar Big Bird (LM-3B can launch up to 12 tonnes into LEO), which its trajectory would be towards NNW (used for 2 LM-2C polar launches way back in 2004), or a geostationary one. Tracking ships movements point to the later.
