Original: EXCLUSIVE: Attack aircraft, military vehicles visible at new China-Laos base, satellite images show
Reuters reports, citing satellite images, that attack aircraft and military vehicles are visible at a new Chinese-built base in Laos. The imagery offers a rare look at Beijing's expanding military footprint in Southeast Asia, close to Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar. The development is likely to raise concern among regional governments and Washington about China's growing security presence in a country traditionally within Vietnam's orbit.
Why now: Satellite evidence of Chinese military assets at a new base in Laos signals an expansion of China's regional military presence.
