The report pointed out that the "Long March-2D" launch vehicle has a specially designed "Deorbit Sail" (Deorbit Sail), which can prevent rocket debris from wandering in space orbit and causing danger to other satellites.

But where the rocket would crash wasn't part of the design.

McDowell also pointed out that the uncertainty of how China will deal with the launch of the rocket is not a good plan.

In response to the disintegration and crash of a rocket over Texas, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) set the tone as a "high-risk, uncontrolled re-entry."

Republican Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi, a member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, said the incidents reflected a direct result of China's reckless pursuit of military dominance, and he also called on President Joe Biden to respond to the incidents, rather than reactive.
