First you need the cowling for the fire bottles to be effective. Since the engine was spinning it had oil pressure, I'd guess it was oil feeding the fire.

There was not a hole in the fuselage, the hole was in a composite wing root fairing--not the fuselage. What ruptured fuel line? What damage to the wing? A few dents--not a factor. "...the verge of failing..." WHAT?

Seems odd that only now China is increasing flights...since they have told the world that COVID was contained in March of 2020.

Honestly the real issue is the safety culture at EK, and other foreign airlines. In the US and Canada we use a non-punitive style of safety, where we can "self disclose" in a situation like this, it will be investigated, but the result will--most likely--be information published to the pilot group so everyone can learn about the issue. EK, among others, uses a fear based style of safety culture. Where crews make decisions based on fear of punishment--EK521--where the fear of a long landing caused the crew to preform a go-around that lead to the crash. Where the FOQA or QAR data is used to punish crews not to teach crews.
