The forward deployment of China and Her Military Forces has a specific long range purpose for the future to spread their influence and control to global levels. The island bases already in use are there to accomplish that same widespread goal. Make No mistake about the threat China is becoming to spread that global control.

The problem is sadly two sided. China is offering help/assistance/money.

We are not.

End of discussion. Want the dynamic changed? Send/spend more money. Africans poor in the street don’t care about politics. It’s only aid that’s important.

I posted this on a civil affairs page on Facebook and a buddy mind says that China has made inroads with 6 African countries already.

China has been involved in development of Angola, Sudan, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt and Mauritius just to start the list and Chinese companies building all over. Now China has established its first overseas Military Base for the people's Liberation Army of China in Djibouti, Africa which is near the Suez Canal area. That Base has 2,000 Chinese Military stationed there. There are more Chinese Military Bases planed. China already has made economic investments and controls a lot of the African nations now it moving in military. In addition to base a large number of navel exercises including use of aircraft carries. China does as Lt. Colonel Christensen also pointed out here make long time range plans for the future. They aren't in a rush but it seems the objective itself is pretty clear and it's control.
