Unless, of course, the Chinese have developed some sort of non-Newtonian thruster system that lets their space trash hover in one place.
Um...my DirectTV satellite does just that. It's called a geostationary orbit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit. It has been around for quite some time and is used for most telecommunication satellite. It does require thrusters here and there due to debris, solar winds, etc... but for the most part it just sits in one place above the earth and appears stationary to an observer on the ground.
