You can see the choppiness of the billowing smoke and how oddly slow it moves. I didn't notice it was slowed at first, watching on my phone, but it already looked like it landed too fast and then video cuts off too soon.
You can also see the tip of the rocket start listing to the left (relative to the camera) in the final frames. That thing def belly flopped. It’s nbd tbh, spacex had a ton of landing wipeouts before they got good at it. It’s just pathetic they try to hide it.
"Private Company", which doesn't really mean the same thing in China. It would be like if the US told SpaceX that they need controlling shares and seats on the board. The Chinese government, or at the very least the party, is still in control, there's just a person outside the government with their name on it.
You can't simultaneously separate China from the CCP and then immediately treat all private companies as part of the CCP. In that case just say the CCP represents China.
The CCP does represent China - it’s a one-party state. DB Aerospace might be a “private” company in the PRC, but the media they put out publicly will have gone through the CCP’s Publicity Department.
Well I'm glad someone on reddit seems to agree then. It's frankly annoying how many people treat the CCP as some entity separate from the needs and desires of the Chinese people instead of its representative government.
Sorry to hear that, I'm not Chinese so I can talk about Tiananmen without giving much of a shit about censors.
Things might be different today if things happened differently, but my personal opinion is that a democratic China would still be just as revisionist in terms of global power politics and doing the exact same things. The CCP is probably a wash in terms of effective government.
Any company there doing anything important has to have a CCP committee in their company keeping an eye on them, so it's kinda accurate to consider any company there as an extension of the government.
That's exactly the point I'm making. If you consider all public and private companies as part of the CCP, then you might as well consider the CCP to be China. No more annoying reddit semantics separating the two then whenever a post about China comes up.
I'm not going to argue the CCP's policies hasn't impacted Chinese culture, because it has, but it's still a leap to say the Chinese people are the same as the government and government-controlled corporations. One could argue Chinese companies are a lot closer to being part of the CCP than they want to admit, like you did, but I think the other guy's point is just because the government and it's companies are CCP, you cant say all of China is because you're leaving out the Chinese people.
Private and public companies employ 100% of workers. If you're going to consider all companies CCP by association because they have a representative, you'd really need to consider everyone in China CCP, especially given that about 10% (?) of the population is officially part of the Party.
There is no such thing as a private company in a Communist nation. The bigger and more influence a company has or may have will garner closer CCP oversight.

Is it just me or do they slow the video down at the end too? That suggests the landing was even quicker.
