The orientation of the platform or camera is no direct evidence of the orientation or shape of the orbit. Though a I would not rule out a Molniya orbit over China.

“The orientation of the platform or camera is no direct evidence of the orientation or shape of the orbit.”

Of course, there is no up or down in space indicating direction of travel. Just noticed the camera’s perspective is 180 from polar axis is all.
