Not only the technologies, the design language from USSR did effect China in many regions even today. Shenzhou and Tiangong are nice examples, they followed the same layout, just like nowadays almost all new manned spacecraft using two modules design now, but they are totally different in many aspects like size, functions etc. There is a comparison section in Wikipedia of Shenzhou. If they drop in urban area or on someone's property, that's another cases. Mostly they just drop on the mountain like what u see in the video, if they dropped on the houses, CNSA will clear the surroundings and compensate.

Evacuation doesn't means all people in landing area need to get away from the landing area, it's unreasonable since the population density is higher than you thought, instead CNSA using in-situ evacuation. Here I translate part of an evacuate guide in May 4th, 2018 full text 1. all the urban residents evacuate to nearby roads, parks, dams, fields 2. all primary and middle students evacuate to nearby roads, parks, dams 3. 4. 5. No vehicle allowed during evacuation, when arriving the evacuation point, keep watching the sky, keep away from high-volt tower, houses, construction area, the rest of landing area residents evacuate to the evacuation point appointed by the residents association. 6. all residents must follow the polices' and staffs' arrangement 7. residents should lock up and power off before leaving their houses 8. First air defense siren will be alarm at T-1h and evacuation begins, Second air defense siren will be alarm at T-0, Third air defense siren will be alarm when debris touch down and residents can return to their homes. Since they are all watching the sky, there is no doubt that they will take the footage when the debris dropping nearby China did receive technologies assist from USSR until Sino-Soviet splits, and that's all

That Chinese post is quite misleading that it said the satellite crashed instead of rocket and the comments under it are quite disgusting For some historical reasons, China had to established the launch site in interior, and we knew that the debris crashing did cause some loss of people's poverties and even life. CNSA knew this and they did try to make changes, they evacuate the residents in crashing area, install parachute on the booster to control the landing position, and establish a new coastal launch site - Wenchang, where will take the majority of the future launches. I knew it takes a long time for people to change their idea on CNSA, but judging things in optimistic way isn't a bad idea.

Launch success! Orbit Parameter: 205x35976km Inclination: 28.5° Period: 10h35m

Estimated Launch at 9:43 (UTC+8) Streaming Room (Bilibili): https://live.bilibili.com/10921840?share_source=copy_link In streaming they mentioned that the reason why they postponed the launch is the breaking of depressurizing valve on the engine.

It's streaming now, in the link i post b4

it isn't streaming now

there is a stream by CCTV news: https://live.bilibili.com/21686237, but not sure it will stream when launch
