When is the last time that China or Russia tried testing an entirely new launch vehicle? It is my understanding, aside from upgrades, they have not really built anything new.

Edit: also looking at your list of accidents, China has one with 6-100 deaths.

And USSR has 120 deaths in 1960.

I think you need to look at deaths beyond just Astronauts here.
