The Chinese one was the Intelsat 708 launch in '96. China only said like 6 people were killed but some reports put it in the hundreds but you know, China doing China things though to suppress info.

Edit: Here's the Air and Space article about it: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/disaster-at-xichang-2873673/
