What was said
"For the first time, China Long March, which manufactures their primary launch vehicle, demonstrated landing of an orbital booster."
China's Long March 10B booster successfully completed a propulsive landing on July 10th, marking the first non-US entity to achieve orbital booster reusability. The booster is comparable in payload capacity to SpaceX's Falcon 9, which has completed 580 reflight missions with one booster flying 36 times. The development intensifies the space launch competition and validates SpaceX's reusability model globally.
