The rocket was undergoing a static fire test of the stage, in which a vehicle is clamped to a test stand while its engines are ignited, when the booster broke free. According to a statement from the company, the rocket was not sufficiently clamped down and blasted off from the test stand "due to a structural failure."

Video of the accidental ascent showed the rocket rising several hundred meters into the sky before it crashed explosively into a mountain 1.5 km away from the test site.

I suspect it's actually worse there. This guy has a series called "China fakes everything" which is worth watching

I watched a couple videos from this channel and done a bit of research and:

  1. This guy never cites or show any sources and
  2. based on his video on the Falun Gong he actively twist the Truth

I would recommend not to listen to a random guy who claims to be an "insider"

The sources are chinese social media most of the time and by the time he posts it on youtube, the chinese government has deleted the videos in china already. It‘s not like you can access it so easily anyway. It‘s really not his fault that western media does not give a damn about what‘s happening in china. There rarely are any reliable sources because of that circumstance.

I don't think you are being very fair about the coverage of wester media about China, we constantly hear about how the Chinese government is oppressive and evil and oppress minorities and all the fucked up things they do.

Also, you are saying that the government manage to censor everything so effectively? any post in all social media? If so, why then we know about all the other shit they are up to, if the censorship is that good? He shows some video with audio in his reports, why don't post his unedited footage of them as proof? Then other can listen to it and confirm that the subtitles he puts on them while talking over the them are genuine and not complete fabrications, his "reports" are not censored, so I can't se why he can't post them.

Also in this very thread we have seen how he portrays the Falun Gong, basically Asian Scientology, a cult which venerate it's leader as a deity, is anti gay, anti feminism, believes that every race was created by a different god and so there should be racial segregation and that claims that modern medicine is evil, as a (and I quote this video at 00:16) "Falun Gong is a meditation practice that started in 1992 in China. At the core of the Falun Gong are values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance." without saying anything else about them.

Is this someone trustworthy? At the very least he manipulate the truth, and at worst is a propagandist for a very evil Cult
