BEIJING: China has raised the possibility of opening more military support bases abroad in case there is a need to do so, according to a senior People's Liberation Army (PLA) strategist, the media reported on Thursday.

Lt General He Lei, a former Vice President of the Academy of Military Sciences of the PLA, said at a press conference here on Wednesday that China would open new bases under two conditions, Efe news reported.

"This matter is primarily determined by whether a new base is needed to help China better fulfill missions given by the UN.

Second, it depends on the approval of the nation where a new base should be located," China Daily newspaper quoted He Lei as saying. If these two factors were fulfilled, "it is possible for China to build new overseas support bases", he added.

The official said the main function of these sites was to provide logistical support to PLA units abroad and not to set up Chinese military forces in other countries.

I'm wondering whether PLA has thought about Tuvalu or Nauru for this purpose. Both countries share some pretty extraordinary financial circumstances, that could make lending land for a base much easier than others.

After Djibouti, regarding China Good relatonship with host country and the people in host country have so much Positive view toward China.

I think, Tanzania and Namibia or Angola would be another great add.
So China can protect and Support Africa more from evil power

Actually Jiwani and Djibouti is enough, another one would be Myanmar. Lanka would have been a great addition but it's too near India to be of any use. Best would be Myanmar and Jiwani to outflank the Indians.
