  Great view of the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center captured by #DEIMOS2 earlier this morning. We wish the best of luck to our strategic partner @bjspaceview on their upcoming launch of the 3rd and 4th satellites in the #SuperView1 constellation!

  Spaceflightfans.cn is giving the launch date for YG-30-03 as December 27 and January 9 for GJ-3/4.
  

  Well, it says "tbd" (待定) in both cases
