I have some comments:
"likely to fall in international waters" - correct, but you don't know that for sure.
"not worth panicking about" - I completely agree, no reason for panic. BUT

"not worth panicking about" - I completely agree, no reason for panic. BUT

"China's .. space monitoring network will keep a close watch ... and take measures to avoid damage to passing ships" Eh? What measures? There is absolutely nothing they can do. This is what is known in the trade as a "lie".
The total lack of acknowledgement that leaving big rocket stages to reenter from LEO is undesirable ... is disappointing.
"..which will potentially land on areas away from human activities, or in the ocean". Translation: we're playing the odds and hoping it doesn't repeat last year's fiasco.
