It's utterly rubbish from China as well. There are agreements about what can be left for uncontrolled re-entry and this is the second time their rocket has breached those limits (and by a long way).

The US and Russia used to make sure their non-reusable rockets fell into the ocean. SpaceX really are miles ahead of the governments with their landing and reusable rockets, I am sure China are doing their best to get their hands on the plans as is their usual way.

IMost of the countries it could land in have been "bought" by China building them stadiums, infrastructure etc anyhow, so we shall never hear a word.
