China officially denies overseas military base rumors

China on Tuesday said that it has never set up military bases abroad, and there is no cause to worry about China seeking a re-supply port for its navy ships in Seychelles.

At a daily press briefing yesterday in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin was asked whether China was discussing with Seychelles about deploying Chinese troops and planes in that country.

"I have not heard of this issue," said Liu. "China has never set up military bases in other countries."

Recently, Chinese naval ships participated in a multi-nation campaign against pirates striking off Africa, and the Asian country may consider seeking supply facilities at appropriate harbors in the Seychelles.

Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie paid an official friendly visit to Seychelles earlier this month, and Seychelles welcomed the Chinese escort mission and invited Chinese vessels to stop at the port of Seychelles for supply and stopover during the Chinese escort mission.

According to the Chinese Ministry of Defense, China is considering the offer from the Seychelles to set up a supply base for its naval ships.

"It is normal international practice for navies of any nations to stop over at ports of nearby countries for supply during the long-distance voyage mission," said Liu. "Based on our demand in the escort mission, China will consider stopping over at ports of Seychelles or other countries for supply."

Such acts are transparent and there's no cause for worry, Liu said.

That shows the world again that China really has no interest in wasting her money the way U.S. did in the past decades.

So the west can put that China threat to a rest now.

Only those who do not use their brain much got excited.

However, most Chinese do have brain and do use it a lot.

I really thought the Chinese here got too excited with the base hype.

You guys are wrong, the U.S. has been making a lots of money form their foreign bases, pick South Korea as an example, the local government has to pay for all fees to maintain the U.S. bases on their soil, plus, the South Korean must guarantee the security and the rights of the U.S. soldiers in SK.

Why not having a foreign base when you can date many beautiful local girls and freedom to drink and to beat any fagots that you don't like!

The US only makes money in Japan and South Korea, not elsewhere.

Unless we can have Japan and South Korea, since they pay everything for the US military base, including the free prostitution.

Any where else they can gain political influences and that in the long run is in favour of usa interests
