Pentagon expects China to establish military bases in Pakistan, other countries to protect OBOR


Listen

WASHINGTON: The US Defense Department expects China to establish more military bases around the world, including in Pakistan, to protect its investments in 'One Belt One Road' global infrastructure program, according to an official report released on Thursday.

According to report, China currently has just one overseas military base, in Djibouti, but is believed planning others, including possibly Pakistan, to advance its projects such as the 'One Belt, One Road' Initiative (OBOR).

"China´s advancement of projects such as the ´One Belt, One Road´ Initiative (OBOR) will probably drive military overseas basing through a perceived need to provide security for OBOR projects," the Pentagon said in its annual report to Congress on Chinese military and security developments.

"China will seek to establish additional military bases in countries with which it has a longstanding friendly relationship and similar strategic interests, such as Pakistan," the report said.

But target locations for military basing could include the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the western Pacific.

"China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), publicly released in 2013 and formerly named “One Belt, One Road,” aims to expand economic and commercial ties to China by financing, constructing, and developing transportation infrastructure, natural gas pipelines, hydropower projects, technology and industrial parks throughout the Indo-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. China views BRI as a way to enhance its trade connectivity", the report said.

We don't want any foreign military bases in Pakistan but tell me why is is okay for United States to have military bases around the world but not China? Specially since China feels threatened that its projects might be targeted by US backed terrorists.

This how the US has done it. Strangulation is the key, to choke a country economically in the time of war. It is a good strategy by the Chinese to create choke points,or Area Denial in order to counter the De-fecto world Order.
