Now that you have made this public view, it's not a secret anymore.

China is the hope for the peaceful world 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ thanks to China 🇮🇳🇨🇳🇮🇳🇨🇳 we indians must learn from China.

[truthmatters]

Well the US already have 859 military bases around the world.
China has a long way to go, perhaps building 500 naval bases for a start to counter the US. Like the west say China must be more like the West.
I agree.

China needs bases there to ensure freedom of navigation and pirates

[Mgeey-shorts]

I'm a Nigeria, and I will fully support republic of China to establish the naval base.

Wion, what's your problem with china . How does the visit meant a establishment of naval base. Why are you or india worried about it. Every country has a right to relate with any other nation, as long as it's peaceful and beneficial to the mutual interests of nations involved.

WHY INDIA SO JEALOUS .... BUT HAS NO SHAME IN RICKSHAWS AND BICYCLES IN 2023, STILL SUFFERING FROM 12 HOUR POWER SHORTAGES ... Wide spread poverty , Farmer riots, Manipur Riots....

[michaelnelson]

If the usa has so many military bases almost around the world is that okay, not that i am for the Chinese having a bases in other countries but the point i am making is why one country should have military base outside their country. This should be not right for any country .

Hope the PLA Naval Fleet didn’t offend Indians on Indian Ocean.

[dwrs]

It was still a secret yesterday but after India news reported this, it's not a secret anymore 🤣🤣🤣

[khomeinimuwwakkil-rniu]

don't care about us blacks we can protect our self

[hongqi]

So what if China is establishing a naval base there? It's non of India's business.

[lazaropeedro]

I remember very well that Indian was wishing to have military bases in the Philippines 🇵🇭 the was a laugh 😅but unfortunately india doesn't have the power like AMERICA
India is 50 years behind and but the time india caught up America 🇺🇸 is still more powerful

[alltimebignews]

It will be a good thing for Africa especially Nigeria. China will be a good reliable partner to protect Africa from attacks.

O.K., so you've got a good video here, but please, the letter "V" is NOT pronounced like a "W". It is NOT "wisit", it is "visit" with a "V"! The "V" sound is formed by putting your top teeth on your bottom lip. Now put the "ee" sound through the "v" -- vee! It should sound similar to "BEE". But "BEE" is top LIP on bottom lip, "VEE" is top TEETH on bottom lip.

Why can't you talk about the 800 american bases. I really don't understand your obsession with China

[skylink]

How many USA military bases world-wide.
