The villagers in Houaphanh Province had been troubled about the safety of their water since mining began in 2024. A lawyer working with the villagers explained in an interview that âafter cattle went grazing in the mining area and disappeared, the villagers demanded compensation from the company.â When the company refused, villagers blocked the mine road, creating a tense standoff. Police were called, and luckily, the lawyer was able to calm all parties and prevent arrests.</p> <div class="button-more-container"> 263 <a href="https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2026/07/mining-in-the-shadows-spiraling-rare-earth-pollution-in-laos/" class="button button-more">MORE</a> 264 </div> 265 </div> 266 </li> 267 <li class="list-news-item"> 268 <h3 class="title-news-

Such Chinese data canât be easily found in traditional international reporting systems like the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (<a href="https://www.oecd.org/">OECD</a>) and the International Aid Transparency Initiative (<a href="https://iatistandard.org/en/">IATI</a>). Chinese data can vary by source, much of which is hard to decipher as investments are displayed in the aggregate rather than by individual projects. Gaps in data and Chinese-language only publications present other obstacles to transparency. </p> <div class="button-more-container"> 358 <a href="https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2026/01/aiddatas-myth-busting-china-report/" class="button button-more">MORE</a> 359 </div> 360 </div> 361 </li> 362 <li class="list-news-item"> 363 <h3 class="title-news-
