This is not a secret facility. It's a test facility, not a launch site, i.e. there's public news on activities at facility when searching 河南巩义市综合试验中心 [0]. Catastrophic failure made it one, but that's like people saying they don't know XYZ industrial complex was located out side of town until it explodes spectacularly.
Tianlong3 actual launches is anticipated to happen at Wenchang Commerical in coastal Hainan, a cordoned off space port like Kennedy [1]. I would say (relatively) commercial players like Space Pioneer less cavalier than the national space program because bad optics can kill them.
