Excuse my ignorance - even if just a rethorical question: Is this not punishable? Isn't there some body aggrieved parties could report this too for sanctions?
Even if through negligence - even through merely their (Chinese) "de-emphasizing" care about the amount of debris they generate - this could very well be a strategy to make it harder for everyone else to compete ...

Sorry, but what are they going to do if China refuses to pay those sanctions? And who will want to escalate those into tariffs etc?
Once you are a super power rules don't apply to you.

#10> Space debris at such altitudes, where there is very little atmospheric drag, can remain in orbit for decades or longer, depending on the size and density of the debris and other variables.
