China is attempting to establish its first military base in the Atlantic Ocean, potentially allowing the communist regime to rearm and refit warships opposite the East Coast of the U.S., The Wall Street Journal reported.
The potential placement of a base in Equatorial Guinea raised concern at both the White House and Pentagon, U.S. officials told the WSJ. Principal deputy U.S. national security adviser Jon Finer visited the small African nation to persuade its president, as well as his son and heir apparent, to reject China’s advances.
