China's Military Facility in Djibouti: Sounding More Like a Military Base

Global Times published on 15 March 2016 an article titled "China's Logistic Hub in Djibouti to Stabilize Region, Protect Interests" by Huang Jingjing. 

This article in the Global Times, which is affiliated with the People's Daily, sounds more and more like China's new naval support facility under construction in Djibouti should more appropriately be called a military base once it has been completed.  This would make it China's first ever military base outside China.
