Ppl are talking how we need regulation. We can't even spot China from putting ppl in concentration camps how are we going to regulate their rocket program.
They also have a habit of letting early booster stages fall in mainland China. There are videos of remote villagers walking around crashed boosters with lovely red NOx smoke coming out.
On 15 February 1996, the Long March 3B launch vehicle failed during launch, veering off course immediately after liftoff and crashing into a village near the launch site (probably Mayelin Village).[1] An enormous explosion destroyed most of the rocket and killed an unknown number of inhabitants.[3]
The nature and extent of the damage remain a subject of dispute. The Chinese government, through its official Xinhua news agency, reported that six people were killed and 57 injured. However, American estimates suggest that anywhere between 200 and 500 people might have been killed in the crash; "dozens, if not hundreds", of people were seen to gather outside the centre's main gate near the crash site the night before launch.[4] When reporters were being taken away from the site, they found that most buildings had sustained serious damage or had been flattened completely.[4] Some eyewitnesses were noted as having seen dozens of ambulances and many flatbed trucks, loaded with what could have been human remains, being taken to the local hospital.[4]
Doesn't the fact that you're commenting on a story about their rocket program with a comment about them putting people in concentration camps show that we can spot both, at least from a high level?
Regulation is something a government does within its own jurisdiction. The only country that can regulate China is China. This does not imply a lack of ability to impose effective regulation on the part of any other sovereign nation. Regulation is not something you do to a geopolitical adversary.

We can, we’re just not going to do anything about it because decades of outsourcing American (and others) industry to China has made us a bit dependent on keeping them happy.
Unsubstantive comments on flamewar topics are flamebait generally. Please don't post those.
