Personal opinion:
Chinese Earth observation satellites are launched in batches, from different companies and organizations. Public and private. Under different names and in different orbits. With various observation devices - optical, infrared, hyperspectral, radar. With the ability to quickly view the location or high detail. All of them are in the "interests of the national economy and assistance in natural disasters." There is a suspicion that information from all these systems and devices is being combined into a single processing center. And people in uniform are sitting there.
