TREE NEWS update: China launched the 25th batch of low-orbit satellites for its satellite internet constellation on Thursday from the Hainan commercial spaceport, using a Long March 12 carrier rocket. The satellites entered their planned orbit and the mission was declared a complete success. The launch is part of the country’s state-backed effort to build a low-Earth-orbit broadband network.

The commercial-spaceport angle matters more than the batch number: Hainan is being positioned as a repeatable, non-military launch site, which is what turns a state program into an operational cadence. For the RWA and infrastructure crowd, the relevant read is that satellite broadband capacity is being built at scale by a state actor, which shapes the connectivity assumptions behind any tokenized asset or data network pitched on coverage. Whether this cadence holds and whether commercial payloads follow is the open question.
