That is kind of a large area. they can’t narrow it down a little?

Been a long time ago Skylab came down, a similar situation. IIRC they had enough control and propellant to force it down over the Pacific, the most water and least land. The Australians were not happy about that, being in the target area.

Apparently the Chinese have no control over their junk at all?

It is estimated that lightning strikes the earth over 400,000 times a day. So you are much more likely to be struck by lightning, if that makes you feel any better.

Not a lot to the lab, pretty small with no ablative covering. I dou't think much of anything past the docking module/rings make it to ground.
