Looks like that US$600 million+/year is being put to good use already lmao
This is straight up Obama-era paranoia about the Chinese space program.

Lmao look at this, apparently lib "democracies" are soooo free and transparent

you heard it here first folks. western 'democracies' are holding corporations accountable, and doesnt let them do us harm.
Hmm, yes. I'm sure Western corporations definitely do not behave in the same way as is being described here.
Honestly even if I go down with the ship (and it would of course always be better if the west simply decided to act with the most basic, minimal human decency- or even sensibility) it'll be beautiful seeing all the smug libs and freeaboos get theirs. And I expect they will, because they'll force the rest of the world to ensure it.
Remember when Musk made le epic bacon "How not to land an orbital rocket booster" with 5 min of his rockets exploding and everyone was like "fail fast! Agile! Disruptive innovation!"
" :smuglord: you just don't understand his 26D logic. Those rockets failing are perfect data to make the rockets a bazinga-times better"
Wake me up when Spacex fails and the stranded Boeing crew needs to come back with China.China should just leave them in space, or charge an exorbitant amount from the US for the rescue. But they won't, because they are decent humans even when the west has done similar, will always do similar and infinitely worse, countless times, to China and the rest of the world.
Even that picture looks like it's some lazy-ass chud-feeding treat printer product.
Catching a photo like that IRL would be worth a stack of pulitzers, which is how you know it's bullshit.
But it does scream insecurity. Not long ago, it was haram to even think about other countries' space programs. Now we get to pretend Chinese rockets are so ubiquitous as to be falling on our collective heads.
Gatekeeping bullshit. US AFBs are far worse polluters than any Chinese launch site. And those are fucking everywhere.

Look up “red hill fuel leak” for fun US military shenanigans!
red hill fuel leak You can't ever fix that. I know someone that does contract environmental impact studies for the US gov. The shit I hear is shocking. Just a quick search pulls up tons of information: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/12/air-force-epa-water-pfas-tucson https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/13/pfas-pollution-us-military-bases-forever-chemicals https://publicintegrity.org/environment/military-bases-contamination-will-affect-water-for-generations/ https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2023/11/abandoned-unsafe-forever-chemicals-levels-thousands-drinking-water
Well, thanks for saving me a click. I assumed from the thumbnail that it was a video about how they let their used boosters fall to the ground, near populated areas
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
