We have a huge WRM (War Reserve Material) base there. Huge, many troops. We will outnumber any Chinese “base.”

Ditto. Ours is on the other side of the port. The Chinese already have some kind of base there.

So let the Chinese have their base in the hopes that they are prepared to kill mucho muslims and maybe we can save some revenue and US lives and get the hell out of that turd pile for awhile.
To: amihow
The Chinese are getting foothold in Africa because of the natural resources, so they’re paying off the local governments with infrastructure projects in exchange for mining rights.
