It's kind of sad to see the US is still playing with the 20th century rules book. Probably why they still try to do genocide propaganda in a world where everyone and their grandma has a phone with a good camera and access to internet giving people all over the world 24/7 live content..
More thoughts, I guess controlled burning was the least bad option (in their eyes) if they had to make a snap decision, since they were not able to secure the carriages with the chemicals before hand which would obviously be the best option. Otherwise you'll have mass casualties in an explosion.
In terms of net result though, I wonder if it's the same, or actually worse than an actual explosion. In an actual explosion you'll have casualties and physical damage to property. It'll be all over the news. However, a lot of residents will have left the area already and permanently, so there will be less exposure. Instead now all the residents return to this poisoned region because they've been told it's safe.
It'll be impressive if they remove the lightning conductor from the statue, otherwise meh

1700 derailments a year, not one less!
Need to make the quota so the company that profits from all these derailments can make their next profit target! Priorities people!
"limited impact abroad"
To an extent WSJ is right, China's economic revival is felt most locally and in the non-barbarian/western world, this is intentional to ensure the barbarian world deservedly rots.

A tactical nuke airburst will probably be less harmful and will probably instantly destroy most of the harmful chemicals. Just so happens a certain superpower seems to have more of those than it knows what to do with.
A chemical engineer on Weibo said that the SOP for vinyl chloride leaks is dry extinguisher on any existing fires, release it, adsorb as much as possible, then let solar UV handle the rest.
This is understandable. If you dump it, it evaporates. Evacuate the town for a week, and it's all good.
Burning creates stable polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and chlorodioxins from pyrolysis. These are stable and bioaccumulative. Burning is the absolute worst choice because it turns a rapidly dissipating toxin into a permanent one, then creates a convection blower that distributes the toxic byproducts wherever the wind blows.
