Bu Xiangwei, co-founder of Oriental Space, said in a recent interview that Oriental Space expects to have two more launches this year, 5 to 8 launches next year, and almost 10 launches in 2026. We estimate that launching Gravity One 5 to 8 times a year can basically achieve the company's cash flow balance, and it is expected that the overall income in 2026 will be at the forefront of the industry..

What about Chinese non-private?

His remark sounds like it should only be relative to the Chinese private/commercial industry, we cannot guess what he thinks about how his company's income will compare with the entire Chinese space launch industry that includes non-private/non-commercial.
