So mainland China's apparently going to demolish a space station by doing nothing at all. Which seems to be the standing procedure for all nations from Skylab and Salyut onward, sadly...

Well, being hit by part of it may turn out to be a hero or heroine's origin story, as in Dead Like Me, but the odds are against it. Fortunately the UK is well outside the danger zone so it won't be part of my story.

I read about this. It will just burn up as sky lab did.

Parts of Skylab did in fact hit land, mostly in Australia. There's a museum there which has some of the debris that have been found, there's bound to be a lot more that's still lying around somewhere.
