This C-band satellite at 130.0°E was launched on 9 March.
Now there is finally a site listing activity: 中星6C最新卫星参数|中星6C接收参数|130.0度节目表

ChinaSat 6C has moved from 130.0°E to 125.05°E, co-locating with ChinaSat 6A for now.
6C has taken over all activity from 6A, according this site: 中星6C最新卫星参数|中星6C接收参数|125度节目表
But this can't be completely true, because 6C is C-band only.
Both are based on the same dfh4 platform though 6A did have one extra c band transponder. There would have been space on board for additional hardware.
According messages on a Chinese forum Chinasat 6A has retired early (11 years).
Hence Chinasat 6C was rushed to 125.05°E to replace it.
Chinasat 6A is now slowly drifting West without any "raise to graveyard" attempt so far.
