The clearing of thousands of land mines resumed on Monday near the China-Vietnam border in southeastern Yunnan province.
Suspended for 11 months, operations resumed with 67 People's Liberation Army soldiers clearing mines scattered across a 38-square-kilometer area around Dongshan Mountain and sealing off areas where mine removal is too dangerous or difficult.
The mission is expected to conclude by the end of 2018.
