Chinese troops to Uganda. Chinese gunboats to the shores and up the rivers.
They can try.
The Chinese had access to a mine somewhere in one of the ‘Stans. Chinese mining company came in, promised jobs, brought in Chinese slaves and didn’t hire any of the locals.
Locals revolted, ran off the Chinese and took over the mine. I believe in Kyrgyzstan.
If Uganda tells the Chinese to leave, there isn’t a whole lot the Chinese can do other than send in the military. That would not be good for China. I don’t see them doing that no matter how hard people think they are.
Good Uganda can become the Chinese’ own little Vietnam for them...fighting off guerilla groups including Muslims that don’t like them. Uganda is landlocked with no access to the sea and it averages about 900 meters above sea level. Gunboats will have to be trucked across other nations to get to the passable lakes or rivers or airdropped. No easy resupply.
