Litter all space powers, but some more than others.
The portal Space-Track.org published statistics on space debris.
More than anything in the orbit of Russian (Soviet) objects — more than 6500. In second place is USA with more than 6200. The Chinese space program is younger and Soviet, and American, but the amount of useless orbital launches by the Chinese, has already reached 3475.
Most of them were formed in the tests of 2007, when the Chinese military tested an anti-satellite system and destroyed its own satellite.
