The race between ExPace, LandSpace, LinkSpace and Galactic Energy is heating up. The chinese domestic space rocket startup scene is getting more exciting.

Anybody reading all the articles about how China's CZ-5 launch is a threat to humanity because China can't apparently control the parts that separate from the rocket raining down on the Earth just like what happens with everyone else's when they launch rockets? They even show a picture of what looks like 8-inch piping that that landed in Africa. That didn't burn in the atmosphere? What amazing materials science China must have to be able survive re-entry? Every time they try to spin something from nothing, you know it's all about trying to find an excuse to stop China from advancing.

It must be fake news.
Satellite launches are never launched towards the west which is the direction where Afrika is. (For fuel-saving reason having to do with taking advantage of the spin of the earth)

Average man can't tell lower stage from upper stage of the rocket, which is convenient for taletelling.
Some video of this test. I find myself in the unusual position of commending Xinhua's choice of music.
