China here meaning either the state or a Chinese company.

Stage must land under its own power, without the use of parachutes.

Comment clarification: it must be the first stage of an orbital rocket, and the upper most stage of that rocket must achieve orbit on the same launch. It does not need to deliver a payload to orbit.
