The U.S. Space Command's Space Surveillance Network, in a catalogue dated July 4, said China-created debris numbered 2,296, behind the 4,281 pieces from Russia and other nations of the former Soviet Union, and 4,189 pieces for which U.S. launches are responsible. Space Command's public catalogue lists only pieces of debris about four inches (10 centimeters) or larger.

I'd be happy to clean up the mess if they gave me a space shuttle to work with...
