China begins launching a megaconstellation, and it sounds a lot like Starlink

Like Starlink, China's Qianfan satellites have an easy-to-pack flat-panel design.
We're about to have satellites on our satellites

We are going to need a bigger Mega Maid[^] if we want to get rid of the space crap... :~:~ X| X|
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Terawatt lasers with a large enough aperture would also do the job, by vaporizing the satellites. This would have the advantage of keeping the power plant where it's easily serviceable. (As the satellites are vaporized, we won't get a [Kessler syndrome](https://www.space.com/kessler-syndrome-space-debris))
