Ascent stage's solar panels should deploy in a minute or two based on the leaked timeline some days ago.

Apparently CCTV just officially confirmed good orbit insertion.

Well it was explicitly mentioned that in addition to ascent-descent stage unlocking happening just before ignition, "the Chinese flag on the lander side was deployed". Video incoming?

BTW according to official reports liftoff was (as leaked several days earlier) at 15:10 UTC, with the ascend stage's 3000N engine firing for 6 minutes. Solar arrays have been deployed too. CCTV's new channel is appearing showing footage right now.
