Exactly. The CCP doesn’t have to play by the rules, though.

Wouldn’t it be awesome IF a big chunk of this rocket hit the Capital Building or The White House?

I’d say it would be better if it directly hit Chateau Pelosi, or The Biden compound, hopefully burning them to the ground.

“Mr Trump! Mr Trump!” An aide runs into his office, out of breath and clearly panicked, “Mr Trump!”

“What? What’s the emergency? First, take a breath, collect your thoughts, but tell me the good news first.”

“The Iranians. It’s the Iranians. They launched missiles with North Korean warheads on them at New York, Washington, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix, Minneapolis and Philadelphia!”

“Oh no! That’s terrible, a disaster. But, but .. What is the bad news then?”

“They missed.”

... Chinese Long March 5B rocket, similar to the one that was launched this time, reentered the atmosphere, debris reportedly landed on buildings in two villages in Ivory Coast. McDowell told Space News that letting debris reenter the atmosphere uncontrolled was "unacceptable".

Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell is being racist... the Chinese are 'of color' and therefore above criticism... Can't use the term Wuhan Virus - can't object to Chinese space junk killing people. Doesn't McDowell know that?

THE CHINESE ARE 'OF COLOR' AND THEY PAY OFF MOST OF DC, HOLLYWOOD, HI-TECH AND ACADEMIA... SO SHUT UP MCDOWELL OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR JOB - YOU RACIST! WOKE UP OR ELSE...

I have some Chinese Spacelab repellent.

I will spray your house for $100

I offer a complete guarantee. If your house gets destroyed by Chinese Spacelab I will pay you $1 billion.

And these are the best we got?

‘McDowell told CNN the risk of the debris causing damage was “pretty small”.’

Where is that Maxwell Smart shot—”this much”. :-)
