Foreign Policy published on 16 August 2022 an article titled "More Chinese Military Bases in Africa: A Question of When, Not If" by Eric A. Miller, US Africa Command's director of intelligence analysis.
China has likely considered 14 countries for military basing access, including Angola, Kenya, the Seychelles, and Tanzania. The author argues that silence and apathy by the West will ensure a Chinese base in West Africa becomes a matter of when, not if.
