Zhuque-2 is a medium lift LOX/LCH4 rocket with a payload capacity of 4 tons to LEO. It's scheduled for maiden flight in 2021.
As China's largest private launch firm, Landspace has raised over 1 billion Yuan(143 million USD) since its founding in June 2015.

typical shoddy indian media...hehe. low level as always
Please elucidate. If you say it's 'shoddy' reporting you need to give the reason why.

fake news. i don't see this on any professional website or any mainstream media. I don't see people talk about this on nasaspaceflightforum. the fake news only appears on shoddy mediaPlease elucidate. If you say it's 'shoddy' reporting you need to give the reason why.
Out-of-Control Chinese Rocket Reportedly Dropped Debris on Africa
Did they perhaps have a plan to de-orbit it that went wrong?

On Monday, the core of China’s colossal Long March 5B rocket made an uncontrolled descent back to Earth. Massive chunks of the rocket screamed over and over several major US cities before splashing down in the Atlantic Monday afternoon, as confirmed by the US Air Force.
Now, it sounds as though parts falling off it may have left a trail of debris. According to The Verge, bits of the rocket appear to have touched ground on the Ivory Coast. Local media reported that mysterious metallic objects were raining from the sky.
“When you have a big chunk of metal screaming through the upper atmosphere in a particular direction at a particular time, and you get reports of things falling out of the sky at that location, at that time, it’s not a big leap to connect them,” Harvard-Smithsonian astronomer Jonathan McDowell, who has closely followed the story about the falling rocket, told The Verge.
McDowell pointed out that the reported location of the debris aligns with the rocket’s path.

Probably the Chinese failed a controlled re-entry. Now what if this Chinese junk had fallen on a crowded city square? The stuff they make is well known for failures. They need to lay much more stress on quality control. In their hurry to get things done, they miss the wood for the trees, paying scant attention to detail.
Try to look for other sources than global times
you're anti-science. large chunk of debris can not survive when reentering at such high speed.

hehe. you just deleted my post. I don't see any problem with this. I don't see any mainstream media attribute it to quality control. the Long March 5B mission is flawless from any professional aspect. It successully sent the payload into prescribed orbit. and shoddy Indian media call this a failure? I wonder to what extent are your folks being brainwashed?Mainstream non-Indian media

Didn't you just call @Mikesingh's post as fake news and shoddy media ? It was about the same thing - Chinese rocket went out of control and dropped debris.
You say the same thing about most of rockets in the world, including India's: except the reusable rockets which can re-land under the control, all the rockets will fly out of control and dropped debris after they finish the job.
