Already mentioned but the Shijian-29A and Shijian-29B duo, Long March 7A launched it.

It is an experimental satellite, as is the case with all of these series, but I would refer to the article Jack posted for more information. Regardless, this is the 93rd launch of the year. This was also the last launch of 2025.

Judging the progress of a country's space programme by the number of launches is the same as judging its economy by its GDP figure. It has its uses but only shows part of the story.
It is even worse than judging GDP.

I remember when I was in first grade elemetery school, teacher used to ask us to repeat writing the same word for 100 times. That is not indication of advancement in literacy than writing a 五言绝句 (poem) of 4 X 5 = 20 words. Launching the same type of payload many times like US did (really it is just SpaceX) is like a 7 or 8 year old repeating 100 times of a word.
