China To Open First Military Base In Africa

Description

China has signed a 10-year deal with the African nation of Djibouti to build a military base there in what would be China's first military base on the continent, U.S. Army Gen. David Rodriguez, commander of U.S. Africa Command, has said. China has long had an economic foothold in Africa, but the base would be an expansion of its military prowess beyond the Asia Pacific region.
