Failure to repay a loan taken from China in 2015 to improve the Entebbe Airport resulted in the Chinese government taking possession of the country and its entire population.
Ugandan Finance Minister Matia Kasaija admitted he had not thoroughly examined the terms of the loan documentation and apologized "for the hardships that will befall our people. As I now read the terms, our people are now the chattel property of the Chinese government and will be shipped as replacement workers for Uyghurs who succumb to the harsh conditions in China's solar panel factories. Perhaps it is somewhat consoling that the lives that will be lost will be used to increase a non-fossil fuel energy source."
A sign of the dire consequences to come was manifested earlier in the year when the delegation of Ugandan officials sent to try to renegotiate the loan terms were mistakenly fed to President Xi's pet tigers. The Ugandan government filed a complaint with the United Nations, but China used its authority as a permanent member of the UN's Security Council to veto it.
China is expected to use the real estate acquired to build yet another naval base "to bolster our defenses against capitalist imperialism."

Isn’t Uganda land-locked?
They have a nice lake though.
I guess they could build an aircraft carrier there, but it would scare the fish and upset the crocodiles.
