Didn't the US, UK and Japan all lose rockets over the last few years?

i don't think any of them exploded so close to a city

Chang'e 6 just retrieved moon samples and landed back on earth, so you're coping with a failed static launch test by a private company (not even CNSA)
It's like if the Soviets obsessed over Apollo 13 and ignored Apollo 11 to cope

it was an engine test not a launch test, they didn't expect it to take off

While funny, I don't think it's the same as an Indian kanging about being the world's #5 economy to a completely unrelated issue about India

>, they didn't expect it to take off
?
They just expected it to explode ?

It's a static fire test meant to test how the engine burns while holding the rocket in place. The harness failed so the engine launched into the sky.

i was reading some comments from chinese social media and apparently people who live in that city/region had no idea China had a rocket testing facility there. it literally caught everyone by surprise when they saw a giant rocket show up in the sky.

i cannot imagine how that is even possible. all of you try to imagine suddenly finding out that there’s a rocket testing facility in your city and the government simply chooses not to tell you, and somehow, they have so much control over the media that no one even had a clue.

It's a private company testing static firing, they just had the rocket standing on a concrete pillar and fired it unexpectedly.

There's only 4 rocket launch sites in China, everyone knows where they are

Although since this was a private company doing a test maybe they used their own facility people didn't know about
