The US has raised the alarm over alleged plans by China to establish a military base in Kenya and extend its grip beyond economic and investment ties.

It claimed that the planned base in Kenya is part of China’s pursuit of a global military logistics network to counter the existing interests of superpower nations, including the US.

China opened its first military base in Djibouti in 2017, with the latter’s location on the northwestern edge of the Indian Ocean fuelling concerns in India that it would become another of Beijing’s “string of pearls” military alliances and assets, including Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka, ringing India.

It is China’s first overseas naval base, though Beijing officially describes it as a logistics facility.

Chinese Navy marines are deployed at the Djibouti base, along with armoured vehicles and artillery support.

“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] has likely considered a number of countries, including…Kenya as locations for PLA [The People’s Liberation Army] facilities,” said the Pentagon (US Department of Defence) in its annual report to the US Congress seen by the Business Daily.

A “warning?” Yeah, I’m sure that’ll do it. If that doesn’t work, a strongly-worded letter is sure to stop them.

USA has 750 bases in 80 countries . We have no right to be telling China where they can or cannot have a base .

And the legal grounds are? They say East Europe is free to have the US bases, but China in Kenya can’t... LOL.

I'm thinking something along that line myself.

After the Kenyans finish stealing from the base, Kenya will become a base desert, like blank parts of cities become food deserts, because they get tired of the losses.

I had always thought we had forward thinking military officials
projecting out 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 years into the future,
making mid-course corrections to prevent certain scenarios
such as what is taking place with China expansion right now.

WRONG!

We have done everything possible to arrange it so China
becomes the dominant force on the planet.

It’s really pretty much too late now.
