There have been so many things happening within Chinese spaceflight lately that I’m really losing track of things… Anyway there’s yet another launch (yup) on July 19, when another batch of the Yaogan 30 triplets - 10th group - will launch on a LM-2C from Xichang at ~00:15 UTC.

Notice the blue tarp on the fairing? Chinese official reports state that they are testing parachute recovery of the fairing again this time. This is also the last of the YG-30 triplets "at this stage". Also on board is Tianqi-15 which will join its LEO comms/IoT constellation.pic.twitter.com/hQL3gQ1C18

The blue trap may not be the parachute, since it was removed before the launch.

Yes, but it's likely to be the protective cover for that part while preparations were underway, removed before launch.
