The Africa Center for Strategic Studies published on 12 May 2022 an analysis titled "Considerations for a Prospective New Chinese Naval Base in Africa" by Paul Nantulya.
Chinese military analysts have debated its foreign basing scenarios since the early 1990s, and all Chinese defense white papers since then have called for improving overseas logistical facilities to accomplish "diversified military tasks." The author evaluates the prospects for a second Chinese military base (after Djibouti) in Africa and notes commonly rumored locations include Equatorial Guinea, Angola, and Namibia on the Atlantic Ocean.
