Designing a single stage rocket that results in a 20 ton core undergoing uncontrolled re-entry on every launch is irresponsible and deserves to be called out as such. They should've designed and installed retro rockets to separate the core and initiate a controlled re-entry and brake-up over the ocean. This Atlas 5 mission animation shows how that's normally done:

I am not the only here who finds the uncontrolled re-entry of a 20-ton LM-5B core intentional. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine called it out as "dangerous". Spaceflight observer and astrophysicist at Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics , Jonathan McDowell pointed out that it constitutes a major regression in space program safety, as it has been several decades since an object of that size has underwent uncontrolled re-entry, all the worse because it was intentional. Solid arguments have been made in this thread to support that thesis, unlike your feeble attempts at whataboutism.

The inconvenient truth sure hurts your little glass hearts, doesn't it? Well, I wouldn't expect better from a "Zhonghua goo-da, laowai ba-da!" rabble.
Anglos criticising China? Suprise, suprise! Never seen before! Truly an objective voice with no ulterior motives that deserves to be heard.

China doesn't care. If you care that much, you deal with it.There is a saying in Chinese. 皇帝不急太监急。
About the "glass heart" part, keep doing your masterbation, nobody gonna stop you. We'll let you do that every time a 5B is launched, how about that.

Suggestion that China has a nihilistic approach to international space law is doubtful. China does care.
Who are you to assert authority over China's space program?
International space law? Oh, I never knew China got invited into international space community.
If you think China breaks so called International space law, go ahead and sue. Let's see how you do it? Otherwise, can I say you are bullshiting?

但微博科普帳號「@北斗_玉衡」當時發文分析,運載火箭的末級火箭本身就會成為不受控的太空垃圾,「沒有人會控制已經無控的太空垃圾使其精確返回」,批評歐美國家藉機炒作事件來抹黑中國。

官媒《環球時報》則引述航天專家、小火箭公眾號創始人邢強博士,指中國運載火箭殘骸的飛行軌跡也並非「不受控」,而是經過科研人員的精密計算,並利用「火箭鈍化技術」,有意縮短在軌飛行時間,殘骸最終會落在南太平洋人跡罕至的「航天器墳場」。

However, the Weibo popular science account "@北斗_玉衡" posted an analysis at the time that the final stage of the carrier rocket itself would become uncontrolled space junk. "No one will control the already uncontrolled space junk and return it accurately. Criticize European and American countries for taking the opportunity to speculate on the incident to demonize China.

The official media "Global Times" quoted aerospace expert and founder of the small rocket public account, Dr. Xing Qiang, saying that the flight trajectory of the wreckage of the Chinese launch vehicle was not "uncontrolled," but was calculated by scientific researchers and used "rockets." Passivation technology" intentionally shortens the flight time in orbit, and the wreckage will eventually fall on the inaccessible "spacecraft cemetery" in the South Pacific.
