“China is establishing its first military base in Africa, according to a top U.S. general, providing yet another sign of its growing reach beyond the Asia-Pacific. ‘They are going to build a base in Djibouti, so that will be their first military location in Africa,’ U.S. Army Gen. David Rodriguez, the commander of U.S. Africa Command, recently told defense reporters. There has been speculation for years that China might establish a base in Djibouti. Rodriguez told The Hill that China has signed a 10-year contract with the African nation. The base, he said, would serve as a logistics hub for China to be able to ‘extend their reach.'”
