extraction_notes: "Primary extraction updates the China reusability timeline claim with concrete April 2026 debut date, challenging the '5-8 year' projection. Secondary claim captures the state+commercial parallel development structure as evidence of ecosystem depth. Combined with the February 11 sea landing source (referenced in curator notes), this provides comprehensive update on China's reusable rocket progress. No cost-per-kg data available, so economic competitiveness claims remain unsubstantiated."
