China also often launches from far-inland locations which puts large terrestrial populated regions beneath the booster (and booster landing) track. Perhaps less so for nominal launches, but not all launches are nominal: <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ys0DOsZmr7g https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ys0DOsZmr7g> <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=peJ6gErODic https://yewtu.be/watch?v=peJ6gErODic> <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=-SFRNImP7p8 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=-SFRNImP7p8> China operates four launch facilities, three of which, Jiuquan, Taiyuan, and Xichang are inland. The fourth, Wenchang, is on the island of Hainan, in the South China Sea between China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Space_Administration#Launch_facilities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Space_Administr...> Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome, located in the independent country of Kazakhstan, is similarly an inland location and has seen launch debris fall over populated areas.
