I stand to be corrected but I think a Long March Core/First stage making it all the way to orbit is pretty rare.

The grumbles are that (?) UN guidelines state that there should be an active de-orbit plan/method for anything placed into Low Earth Orbit with a mass of 10 tonnes or more. The item in question weighs in at over 20 tonnes and those who launched it seem to have made no such provision.

Better hope it ends up in the Ocean.;we will soon know.
