Yup that show the precision of Chinese space tracking and control of reentry vehicle AKA ballistic missile So any one still doubt that China missiler can land the missile within 100 m?

If anything this capsule would less accurate than a ballistic missile reentry vehicle. Just because of the shape.
Ballistic missile reentry vehicles typically are cone shaped and enter nose down while this is headlight shaped and enters bottom down.

Will they show us the samples Chang'er 5 brought back from moon? I hope to see what Chang'er 5 has brought back, any difference from what the American and Russian have brought back before.

Adding to that, the capsule reentry speed is much higher than the reentry speed from earth orbit. This explains why the capsule having to skip twice in the atmosphere to reduce speed and at the same time preventing the capsule from overheating from the air friction during the high-speed reentry if this is done using only one skipping.

Also the team is overall very young.

Lol, the channel is known for posting fake animated CGIs. Having said that, it does it in a realistic and quite interesting way.
