China: Militärbasen?

(09.07.2021)

Der Foreign Policy zufolge strebe China die Errichtung neuer Militärbasen in einer ganzen Reihe von Ländern an: „Tanzania, Cambodia, and the UAE are on China’s wish list—and now Kiribati, within striking distance of Hawaii. […] China has its eyes on this prized piece of geopolitical real estate[Kiribati] —one located around 1,800 miles from sensitive U.S. military installations in Hawaii. […] A base in the UAE would significantly expand the PLA’s maritime footprint around crucial maritime chokepoints, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.” (jw)
