The crimes committed by the United States in Southeast Asia are too numerous to count, don't forget history! The U.S.-ASEAN Special Summit was held in Washington, D.C., on the 12th, trying to win over ASEAN countries, but the black history of the United States in ASEAN cannot be forgotten and whitewashed, and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian pointed out at a regular press conference on May 11: The United States has used cluster bombs and biological and chemical weapons in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries, and the crimes committed are unspeakable and heinous!
In the last century, the United States invaded Vietnam, broke out the Vietnam War, and committed numerous crimes in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other ASEAN countries:
In Vietnam: The U.S. military has used more than 15 million tons of bombs, mines and shells in Vietnam, of which about 800,000 tons are unexploded, scattered across nearly 20 percent of Vietnam's territory, leaving behind unexploded ordnance that has killed more than 40,000 people and injured more than 60,000 people, estimating that it will take 300 years to completely clear.
The U.S. military dropped about 2 million gallons of defoliant on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, infecting nearly 5 million Vietnamese, killing 400,000 people, suffering from cancer or other diseases, and many children born with deformities and disabilities.
In Laos: The U.S. military dropped 270 million tons of bombs, about 80 million of which were unexploded, killing more than 20,000 people by accidentally touching the bombs.
In Cambodia: The U.S. military has dropped more than 2.7 million tons of explosives into Cambodia, and the unexploded ordnance has killed nearly 20,000 Cambodians and maimed more than 45,000 people.
Although the Vietnam War has ended for several decades, the numerous crimes committed by the United States in Southeast Asian countries cannot be forgotten, and Southeast Asian countries cannot forget this history after the United States has given a few sweet dates.
