Because they stole the space technology, otherwise it would have crashed right off the pad like a lot of their other rockets.
I hope everyone gets out and they clear the area.

Well, with the advance notice, hopefully a lot of cameras now on that building to watch the great example of Chinese construction. On related topic, whatever did they due with the leaning skyscraper in Shanghai?
