Mekong River massacre : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mekong River massacre
The Mekong River massacre occurred in the morning of 5 October 2011, when two Chinese cargo ships were attacked on a stretch of the Mekong River in the Golden Triangle region on the borders of Burma and Thailand. All 13 crew members on the two ships were killed and dumped in the river. It is the deadliest attack on Chinese nationals abroad in modern times. In response China temporarily suspended shipping on the Mekong, and reached agreement with Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Laos to jointly patrol the river.〔 The event was also the impetus for the Naypyidaw Declaration and other anti-drug cooperation efforts in the region.〔Drug Trade a ‘Significant Threat’ to Region: Mekong Nations, Friday, May 10, 2013, http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/34253〕 ==Background== The Mekong is a major waterway of Southeast Asia. It originates in China, where it is called the Lancang River, and flows through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, where it empties into the South China Sea. It is a major trading route between China's southwestern Yunnan Province and the countries of Southeast Asia. However, after leaving China the river flows through the Golden Triangle area where the borders of Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos meet. The region has long been plagued by lawlessness and is notorious for drug smuggling.〔 An owner of one of the hijacked ships stated that almost every Chinese boat in the area had been robbed by river gangs.
