I was mostly thinking about the amount of weight that the Zhurong style lander would be able to land vs the Curiosity/Perseverance skycrane style of lander used by NASA. It's quite complex but it seems like it allows more of the mass to be in the rover vs the rover just because the Zhurong lander needs to carry the weight of the rover on top of it where the skycrane doesn't.
