China-US Military Cooperation in Djibouti?

Michael Walsh, research fellow at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, posted on 17 November 2017 on the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative "A Field Note On How U.S. Military Officials View The People's Liberation Army Security Base in Djibouti."

Based on interviews in Djibouti, the author concluded that U.S. military officials are genuinely committed to finding ways to promote increased cooperation with their Chinese counterparts; however, they are frustrated by the way Chinese military officials approach their interactions with their U.S. counterparts.
