On February 4, 2021 at 15:36 UTC the "Chang Zheng-3B/G2” (Long March-3B/G2) rocket-carrier was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Xichang, southwest China's Sichuan Province. The rocket orbited the “TJSW-6” communication technology test satellite. But independent analysts believe the “TJSW-6” satellite has a military purpose, and could carry sensors designed to warn Chinese leaders of an impending missile attack.
