The "Blue Line" minefield along the border between Lebanon and Israel, known as a "miniature landmine museum", is one of the areas that have the most types and quantities of landmines and have the greatest difficulty in mine clearance.

In the past 20 years, China has been proactive in supporting and participating in international humanitarian demining operations and has provided assistance to 30-odd developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to help these mine-affected countries get rid of the trouble caused by war-left explosives as soon as possible.
