Recently, in international media, few people are paying attention to a Chinese space event.China ’s Hong Kong Aviation Pacific Technology Group signed a memorandum of understanding with the Gyeongti Republic’ s government on January 9 to develop and operate the Obock Aerospace Port.The author expects that China will borrow the advantages of Obok port in the northern northern Globati to establish a satellite and rocket launch site that supports the selection of 10 square kilometers nearby.What makes me curious is how China ’s moves have not attracted the attention of the region, the United States, France, Britain, Japan and other countries, and the United States has once again set off the threat theory of China's expansion of overseas military base deployment.

First of all, the strategic location of the Djibouti Republic is located in the strategic location of Eurasia and Africa.In the early days, France established the country in 1977 with the world's "national self -determination" trend of "national self -determination" in Africa.The foot color of the French sovereign country has been converted to the lease of the land guards from the Kyrgyzstan to safeguard the interests of Africa.After the "September One" incident, the United States also established overseas military bases to lease land from Gengguo to the Middle East terrorist.Due to the lack of land and supplies, the country can only rely on foreign countries to pay a large amount of rents each year to rent land and provide job opportunities as the main source of income.In 2010 and 2017, Japan and China have also established the first overseas logistical base for supporting the United Nations in the Aden Bay of the Gulf of the East of Djibouti.

Secondly, reviewing the French media reported in 2015, alleging that Djibati intends to allow China to build a permanent overseas military base in Obok, the northern port city of Djibouti, which makes the United States very dissatisfied.It is believed that China is thinking in all kinds of thoughts that all Western powers and Japan have established overseas military bases in Djibouti, the demand for the self -determination of Ji Guo and the national economic development, and the interests of Chinese overseas.Establish a "logistics base" that supports overseas peacekeeping forces and anti -theft escort formations.Instead, the situation has changed, and the focus returns to the place here. It turned out to have its huge aerospace commercial interests.

Finally, it revealed from the media part to reveal that the investment in this spaceport is as high as US $ 1 billion (about S $ 1.32 billion), and it will be completed in 2027 as soon as possible.After operation, some infrastructure around the port, such as hydropower plants, Hangtai Port, and roads, will be managed by Djibouti and Chinese companies for 30 years.Gyepermi government estimates that the interests of scientific and technological capabilities, economic and trade remuneration, and employment rates of local people can be improved.At that time, Obucks Aerospace Port will be completed. In the future, the research on aerospace measurement is implemented. The 10,000 -ton "Yuanwang" aerospace measurement vessel will perform frequent exchanges between China and the Indian Ocean waters to perform aerospace measurement tasks, and stop at Obok Port.

But relative, from the new task of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the 21st century to maintain the perspective of the country's overseas interests.Due to the success of Chinese aerospace experience, betting in the "Belt and Road", "Beidou Navigation", "Telecom" and other related commercial interests such as the "Belt and Road", "Beidou Navigation", and "Telecommunications Industry" in Africa, then it will affect the expansion of China's "logistics base" troops and equipment across the Obo district.In addition, the navy's logistical support may also enter and exit Obak Aerospace Port in the model of technical stopping, which may trigger the difference in the focus of the United States and France, Japan and regional countries.
