China is by far the worst actor in this regard. Russia is pretty good about space debris. Both are problematic when it comes to space warfare, like anti-satellite stuff, but that's a different category.

There are no single stage rockets. They all have multiple stages.

The clown in North Korea also is a concern to watch as they love testing rockets/missiles.

Those are missiles, which are specifically designed to come down, so they don't get high enough to remain in orbit and end up slowly de-orbiting like the to-space booster that caused the concern over the weekend.  So they are concerning, but not from a space debris standpoint.
