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.

There is no need to establish a base in Pakistan since Pak armed forces and LEAs are more than sufficient to tackle all sorts of aggression but we will appreciate any material and technological support.

 

[LeGenD]

Absolutely not.

Pakistan Army have established a security force for CPEC known as Special Security Division (SSD) whereas Pakistan Navy is improving its capability in relation to shielding Pakistani waters and harbors. And PAF can provide air cover from above. Good enough.

Agree. Our neighbour on the east wanted to play until our kids took their toys away

Having foreign military bases is like burning money, China became the world biggest trading nation beating US without any military bases outside China, we are happy to maintain this way, let US go on burning their money, not China.

Pakistan can protect its own and chinese interests on its own. We need no american russian or chinese bases. But chinese are welcome to visit pakistan and stay as they wish like a brotherly country they are. Same for turkey ksa and iran. Perhaps one day russia too.

USA is trying to create hysteria even though this hypocrite terrorist state has not only military bases around the globe rather it has captured entire countries after killing millions but check the hypocrisy that it cannot tolerate a single Chinese mil. base anywhere while USA is occupying Afghanistan for nearly two decades and coordinating terrorist attack on Pakistan & China.

Pak armed forces are strong enough and inshaAllah would keep getting stronger & stronger in future despite huge spending by the enemy.

 

[alphapak]

Maybe a joint Naval base with China in the future but at the moment I think
it is best for China to just keep arming Pak with the latest weapons. We got
a trailer of what the JF17's and the chinese missiles can do on 27th Feb.

 

[武成王]

Pakistan as a leading military power of Muslim world is more than enough to protect its own interest. All news saying "China establish military base in Pakistan or Sri Lanka" are fake and can be routed to dump bin when you have first peek into their titles.

 

[Cmdr Keen]

Wonder ....what are the possible outcomes
If the Chinese are forced to send in forces to secure its assets in pakistan...

 

[Imran Khan]

hey USA every one is not like you greedy swine

even if china want bases we will give them they are 1 trillion times better then USA .

 

[maximuswarrior]

I love it when American a$$ is on fire. LOL these cowboy pigs are always crying and bitching about Chinese bases in Pakistan. It is like a broken record. Yankee tantrums are getting tiring now.

Let’s make it a reality and give ‘em some strokes.

This goes to show that these Yankee fvcks are truly concerned. Their constant bickering is not for entertainment. These bastards keep repeating this mantra for a reason. The Yanks are petrified at the prospect of a joint Chinese Pak base in the strategic region.

I honestly hope that China and Pakistan go ahead with establishing some sort of naval outpost. CPEC requires a joint naval effort and it is a tremendous idea.

 

[maximuswarrior]

Looks like Pentagon has also found a Yeti too...

Day by day da amerikaanz are becoming indians.... Sad!

India has Pakistan Syndrome and the US has China Syndrome.

#SinoPakFriendshipForever

The more these ‘Muricans keep throwing tantrums at China Pak relations the worse things will get for the Yanks. It is like when you are trying to extinguish fire, but it only gets bigger.

 

[Cmdr Keen]

The Chinese counselate attack.....was just a show of force...wud have been worse...if the intention was to do actual damage.

China would be foolish to trust Pakistan be able to provide security to its assets....

And even more foolish to station it's troops inside pakistan......wud be sitting ducks.
