The US performed its anti-satellite tests against targets in low Earth orbit, so that the orbits of the debris decayed quickly. That was not the case for the Chinese test, which was in a relatively high orbit and generated a huge amount of long-lived debris. More so, the idea of "secret" anti-satellite tests is a bit rich, satellites are tracked by RADAR from multiple countries, you can't hide a satellite blowing up. |
