China slams US 'double standards', plays down concerns over rocket debris falling in Indian Ocean

Accusing the US of maintaining "double standards", China played down global concerns over its out-of-control rocket remnants re-entering the Earth's atmosphere and crashing into the Indian Ocean. Reacting to NASA Administrator Senator Bill Nelson's criticism, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said some countries are hyping up the issue even though the rocket debris was burnt on re-entry into the atmosphere.
