Liberia was the only African country willing to host AFRICOM, but the infrastructure made that unworkable. The only thing Liberia has going for it is a HUGE runway at Roberts International. Read somewhere it was a designated emergency landing strip for the Space Shuttle.

When I was there (Liberia, Swaziland and South Africa) a few years ago there were Chinese EVERYWHERE, building roads, running the cell phones.

If you look back at the 1950s or early 1960s, there were books and articles about China's big push into Africa, evidently it is a long term interest.
