200 years to go before Laos is cleared of unexploded US bombs from Vietnam war era
- In the world’s most heavily bombed country, 20 million UXO have been cleared in the 45 years since clandestine US war ended
- That leaves another 80 million still to be dug out and defused, if foreign governments continue funding the work.

Disarmed bombs in Xépôn, Laos. Picture: Halo TrustThanksgiving is an American tradition that is unknown in most of the world. Fifty years ago, however, it landed in Laos, the small, impoverished Southeast Asian nation that was to become perhaps the longest-suffering casualty of the United States’ war in Vietnam.
Thanksgiving is held on the fourth Thursday in November. In 1968, that fell on November 28, and on that day, at the height of the war and on the orders of president Lyndon B. Johnson, turkey dinners were helicoptered in to American soldiers who were on a mission to sever the Ho Chi Minh Trail – the network of paths and tracks that constituted North Vietnam’s military supply lines to the south of the country – that ran through eastern Laos.
China quietly upgrades a remote reef
November 20, 2018 | AMTI BRIEF
Recent satellite imagery of Bombay Reef in the Paracel Islands shows that China has installed a new platform at the largely untouched South China Sea feature, which is also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam. The modest new structure appears to be anchored on the north edge of the reef and is topped by a radome and solar panels. The development is interesting given Bombay Reef’s strategic location, and the possibility that the structure’s rapid deployment could be repeated in other parts of the South China Sea.

China blames ‘excuses’ for APEC discord, as US ties sour again
A major Asia-Pacific summit’s failure to agree on a communique resulted from certain countries “excusing” protectionism, a top Chinese diplomat said, in a veiled criticism of Washington that further sours the tone of China-U.S. ties ahead of a G20 meet.

Khmer Rouge leaders found guilty of genocide in landmark ruling
By Steve George and Tim Hume, CNN
Updated 5:18 AM ET, Fri November 16, 2018
(CNN) Almost four decades on from the collapse of Pol Pot’s tyrannical communist regime, an international tribunal has ruled that the Khmer Rouge committed genocide, a landmark verdict that is hoped will bring closure to millions of Cambodians.
More than 1.7 million people, or approximately a fifth of Cambodia’s population, are believed to have died from forced labor, starvation and execution under the Khmer Rouge which ruled the country between 1975 and 1979.

I ask you,
please raise our society up.

China must act decisively to eradicate the ivory trade
The continued existence of large stockpiles of legal raw ivory in the country is hampering China’s promises to save the elephant, says .
Nature – The fight against the illegal ivory trade had some success last month with the arrest of a Chinese woman alleged to have smuggled more than 700 elephant tusks from Tanzania. Ivory is a particular prize in China, where it has been carved into ornaments, chopsticks and jewellery for more than 3,000 years.
