It's estimated that the Tungusta event was caused by a meteor traveling at over 54,000 km/h and was about 65 meters in diameter. So much more mass than the Chinese object, and at much greater speed as it hit the atmosphere, caused that kind of damage in Tungusta. I wouldn't worry too much about this piece of space junk.
But, that event had the asteroid coming in a 40,000MPH.. It exploded before it could hit and the shockwave was more ferocious than the more recent event in Russia..
Think of the Tunguska event which leveled 800 square miles of trees.
