Re: "Built by Landspace, a private Chinese company..."

LOL!

There are NO private companies in Communist China.

The Chinese Communist Party is so self-conscious, and so insecure, it has to pretend that - just like the USA - China has private companies building privately owned rockets.

China steals or counterfeits everything!

And have for thousands of years. It is part of their 'culture'. The idea of 'Intellectual Property' is completely foreign to them. If you discover a better way to make a mousetrap, they believe that they should be able to make that mousetrap without paying you a cent. It is the way they think and always have..................

I used to work for a guy that had a wireless speaker system he wanted to produce commercially. This was back in 1992. He contracted with a company in Taiwan to build it and they stole it..............

Spacex' behemoth rocket StarShip uses methane as well.

China is playing catch-up to Elon Musk.

In no way is this the first methane fueled rocket. Lolol.

There would have to be at least one for the Chinese to steal.

China steals or counterfeits everything!

And have for thousands of years.

Actually, stealing others IP is a recent phenomenon. Theft, as a state sponsored method, began around the same time as Mao took over.

List of things invented by the Chinese:
Eatable/food stuff
Apples, apricot, oranges, peaches, the lemon, grapefruit - a modified descendant of the Chinese pomelo, the Chinese persimmon, shoots of the young bamboo, water chestnut, the sweet lichee nut, noodles, ice cream-like deserts, pasta, the tea rose, the soy bean, whiskey

Military
fireworks, the compass, the crossbow, kites, the parachute, cigar shaped hot-air balloon, “man-flying kites”, antiaircraft fire (shooting down kites with arrows), manned rockets - (Wan Hu reportedly attached 47 gunpowder rockets to his chair, lit the fuses and took off, and was never seen again), burning mirrors and curved mirrors, poison gas, the stink bomb, flame thrower

Flowers
the chrysanthemum, the tea rose, the camellia, the azalea, the China aster, the tall woody-stemmed tree peony, the ginkgo or maidenhair tree

Medical
eye drops, chaulmoogra oil - the only known means for treating leprosy, ephedrine - used for treating colds

Personal
umbrellas, the folding umbrella, belts, buckled belts, plaques, buckles, trousers, sunglasses, mirrors, toilet paper, chairs, the sedan chair or palanquin, wallpaper, toilet paper

Multimedia
playing cards, paper, dominoes, camera obscura, yo-yos, the magic lantern (or zoetrope), goldfish, chess, the spoon, dice, shadow play

Arts
wood block printing, phosphorescent paint, the spinning wheel, sliding calipers, porcelain, lost-wax casting and metalworking techniques used in making wire and chains

Nautical
fishing reels, the rudder, dry docks, watertight bulkheads

Concepts
the decimal point, the concept of zero, the Mohist classic of Chinese physics elaborated a theory of optics, the first to notice that all snowflakes had six sides, musical Harmonia [1578].

Transportation
wheeled transport, chariots, cavalry tactics

Misc
lacquer, the wheelbarrow, the seismograph, weather cocks and vanes, wind direction devices, fingerprinting, tung oil - for varnishes, woven silk, peacock-feather fans and screen fans, compasses, soccer (Cuju)

Chinese inventions were used mainly for the amusement of the emperor rather than moving an economic society forward.

"China is playing catch-up to Elon Musk."

I believe China is first to reach orbit. Elon's blowed up real good on a test launch.

The Chinese are inventive.

The so-called Chinese wheelbarrow -a one wheeled cart - came to be after the Fall of Empire and the roads deteriorated to the point you could only run a one wheel cart.

So, there is this to point to....

Much more here - https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2011/12/the-chinese-wheelbarrow.html

Has photos of said wheelbarrows and images of some with sails to help move the goods.
