From journalist Andrew Jones:
CNSA has released an image of Tianwen-2 in deep space using a robotic arm, giving us a proper look at the spacecraft and return capsule for delivering samples from near Earth asteroid 469219 Kamo'oalewa. Tianwen-2 has been in space for 125 days, is 45 million km from Kamoʻoalewa.
