One of the more recent TJS satellites, part of an accelerating Chinese classified GEO program. The TJS series has continued launching at a pace of several per year despite international attention on the series's activities. China's persistent investment in classified GEO satellites demonstrates that the geostationary belt has become a domain of active military competition, mirroring US investments in AEHF, SBIRS, and space domain awareness satellites.
