So this week, a part of a Chinese space ship crashed in Filipino waters, and the Chinese were ready to start a war to steal it back from the Philippines who found it and were taking it home.
According to Filippino Navy officials, after their sailors had captured and was towing a piece of space floating rocket debris back to shore, the Chinese Coast Guard arrived and forcibly seized it, cutting the tow line...
Whether or not the Chinese took this debris by force or not, the fact remains that it existed, indicating once again that China is dropping rocket parts indiscriminately on other nations. In this case the debris probably came from either a first stage or a strap-on booster, released shortly after the launch from a low enough altitude that it doesn’t burn up in the atmosphere.
AlJ report from 15 sept discusses previous times when debris fell in the waters near the Philippines in July, and of course the story, if the corrupt US MSM covers it at all, they say hey no one was hurt, so stop complaining.
heck, CNN even uses the Chinese propaganda that it fell in a "disputed" area off of the Philippines:
but the area is not disputed: It belongs to the Philippines, but Obama pressured then President Aquino not to stop them when they started digging up the seabed and destroying the ecology to build their militarized islands. Instead, Obama pressured the Philippines to take it to the world court, who agreed that this area belonged to the Philippines, but of course, who is going to require them to follow international law?
why is all of this important?
If the debris hits a nearby town, or sinks a fishing ship or maybe even an airplane, it could kill people. And China is aware of the problem, but just bullies it's way out of being criticized for their continued failure to control rocket part reentry.
