    It does if youre literate. Thats a tall ask on here though.

    China gains as much as $13 in trade revenues for every $1 invested in ports. A firm holding an operating lease or concession agreement reaps not only the financial benefits of all trade passing through that port but can also control access

    Chinese firms hold operating concessions in 10 African ports. Despite the risks over loss of control, the trend on the continent is toward privatizing

    Ports in which Chinese firms have equity arrangements provide similar leverage over port operations. Notably, under China’s technical standards for “military civil fusion” (junmin ronghe; 军民融合), many Chinese state owned commercial shipping and civilian air cargo capabilities meet military specifications for defense logistics purposes.

      China gains, so does the countries it trades with. Nobody is performing charity here, but mutual cooperation. You keep confusing potential for millitarization with active domination, because you’re working backwards from the conclusion that China is trying to dominate Africa and looking for any evidence to confirm that for you. Looking at the actual material facts, though, this is far from the truth.

      Acting like china wont use these for military opperations when needed is just stupid

      You just make a thing up and attach it to a vague hypothetical scenario you can’t even imagine into words

      And your link is supposed to support that ‘if you’re literate’?
