China is now the second country, and third entity after SpaceX and Blue Origin, to recover a booster after launching a payload to orbit. While its predecessors use landing legs, the Chinese rocket uses a wire net to catch the booster.
Neither Blue Origin nor China has yet reused a booster. SpaceX has a fleet of boosters, including one that as of 9 July 2026 has been reused 36 times. <https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/spacex-launches-29-starlink-satellites-160833476.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/spacex-launches-...>
