That aircraft hasn't just run through whatever those things are behind it (flags?) and down that embankment with no damage. I agree with XXmet. A practice drill.

It happened a few days ago. Landed after holding due to thunderstorms.
Very few runways in China are grooved. Standing water after heavy rain is not to be underestimated here.

Only half a speed-brake
An actual overrun.
Supposingly a deliberate high speed rollout / taxy down the runway for the turn-pad at the far end (backtrack required to vacate).
Most importantly everyone got out safe.
