They have been doing this for decades. Apparently, they issue evacuation orders for those areas under the path of the rockets. Still, I suppose not all people especially those further away from the path would follow the order.

The first private company to join the lunar exploration program has been announced, STAR VISION, will build and launch a micro exploration robot as part of the Chang'e 8 mission.
I like the move, I think more corporate/state cooperation is good for China, and the CNSA as a whole.
Life is cheap.
It is well anticipated of such demage or even fatality, that is why there is evacuation and insurance policy. If fatality and damage is caused outside the evacuation area it is a problem that must be addressed.
Everyday there are tens of thousand tons toxic and explosive product being moved around all over the world, nobody stop doing that, why the whining on the rocket.
Take the recent toxic leakage in US. It is the fault of ignorance of regulation, bad road condition and bad response to be blamed, it is NOT a fault of transferring toxic material over railroad unless there is a cheaper and safer way.
This is so exciting, does anybody know the average time from construction of launch pad to first launch, say what was it for the LM5?

Right on cue, the phase II expansion of Hainan Commercial Spaceport has begun. The two new launchpads will be ready for launch services within 18 to 24 months.
