Chinas launchers improvements have been moving at a slow pace. Lots of obsolete solid rockets and dangerous propellant.

It would be nice for the environment and the Chinese people if they pursued reuse more. Landing the 1st stage is a lot better than dropping it on top of a village and exploding... as part of a normal and successful launch.

No, I'm not kidding.
