Having previously landed their first rocket out at sea, another Chinese rocket company has landed its booster on land: https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-s...

My first post didn't get a comment, I wonder if people think the Chinese doing this merits no interest?

I, personally, believe that China will start to become a major player in delivering payloads to space and may even beat the US back to the Moon with humans at this rate.

I wonder if SpaceX have any involvement or they might be copying their homework. I think China getting involved is a good thing, unless it leads to WW3

Once one organisation does something it's pretty normal for it to spread to others in the same sector if it offers advantages, given china's manufacturing capacity it was always a matter of when rather than if.
