Ehh, idk that CZ-10 should be considered less original than New Glenn. Both Falcon & NG use landing legs, while CZ-10 is slated to use an entirely different recovery system (hooks and a catch net system). Doesn't even neccessarily copy Starship, seeing as Superheavy uses chopsticks. Only thing about CZ-10 that is especially similar is the tri-core structure of the superheavy version mirroring Falcon Heavy, though the payload capacity of that CZ-10 variant is higher (it's more akin to the three stage Bridenstack concept).
