Likely the payload, it has already manoeuvred to the expected orbital period. Final stage normally de-orbits with these missions.

What is all of that junk falling off? Looks like cover panels around the interstage or something. Any info on this?

Most, if not all, Chang-Zheng launchers have this feature: it's just polystyrene-like panels for thermal conditioning of the upper stage and payload. In fact, many launchers use(d) this, like for example the old Ariane 4 and nowadays Ariane 5's booster joints.

English announcement: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015-10/26/c_134751531.htm
The official name is Tianhui-1C
To be pedantic, the official name seems to be 天绘一号03星
which transliterates as Tianhui yihao 03 xing (Tianhui-1 Sat 03)
I don't feel we should be constrained by however Xinhua chooses to render it in English
(in the past they've rendered such names differently in two places in the same article)

Well, if you ask me, I have a preference for Tianhui-1C

Going out on a limb here, but I use Tianhui Weixing-1 3!

Still tagged as 61B.
40987 appears to be reserved for a (mythical?) 2015-061A. I concur that 'B' is probably the payload and only
item remaining in orbit.

40988 now tagged as 2015-061A
OBJECT_TYPE : PAYLOAD
SATNAME: TIANHUI 1-03
and no other objects found in orbit for this launch
Your assumption was correct!
