Reply to comment by Zachtpres in China set to launch Shenzhou-15 spacecraft to its space station on Tuesday by Soupjoe5

As a matter of fact, China has a horrible track record of managing their rockets' debris. Everything that goes up must come down. But other space angenies invest a lot of effort to make sure that their stuff either burns up on reentry or comes down in inhabited areas.

China is actually generally just as good as every other country in modern times. The only modern exception is the CZ-5B because it is fitting a very specific function the CZ-5 was not originally designed to fulfill, and an alternative was too many years away. It's only got one more planned launch left anyway

The number of ground causalities from booster stages landing on land, intentionally, is greater in China than in Russia (well, Kazakstan.)
