CNN: Un aerodrom al armatei americane s-a transformat în bază militară a Chinei

China has established a new military base in Laos, located at a former CIA airstrip from the Vietnam War era. The base, operational since September 29, includes a training center and an aviation academy, aimed at enhancing Laos' air force capabilities. Satellite images reveal significant infrastructure, including a 2,000-meter runway and parking for 22 aircraft. While the base is intended for cooperation and regional stability, analysts suggest it does not significantly alter the power dynamics with the U.S. The site offers strategic value due to its proximity to China and existing infrastructure links.
