China's Military Base in Tajikistan: What Does It Mean? Link The presence of a Chinese military outpost in Tajikistan is so openly acknowledged at this point that even Tajik officials make little effort to hide it. Link Official authorities of Tajikistan deny the presence of a Chinese military base. However, it remains difficult for the authorities to completely deny the existence of certain physical infrastructure for military interaction between Tajikistan and China. Link The first Chinese military base appeared relatively recently in the Murghob district of Tajikistan’s Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, not far from the Afghan and Chinese borders. Officially, it is a border guard station for Tajik troops built using Chinese funds. In 2016, the Tajik and Chinese governments signed an agreement to build seven border posts and training centers along the Tajik-Afghan border. The Chinese allocated grants for this purpose and constructed three garrison headquarters, five border guard stations and posts, and one training center. Link In 2021, China’s military presence in Tajikistan came into question again. It was alleged that Beijing agreed to pay Dushanbe approximately $8.5 million for the construction of a paramilitary base on the border. Link

In addition to the Military Base in Neuquén, two dual-use observatories have been established in San Juan, and one more in Rio Gallegos, while a port with Antarctic projection and logistical assistance in the South Atlantic is being negotiated, to be located in Tierra del Fuego. There is also a Cooperation Agreement between the Government of the Argentine Republic and the Government of the People's Republic of China on the construction, establishment, and operation of a Chinese far space station in the province of Neuquén, Argentina, within the framework of the Chinese Program Moon Exploration, held in the City of Buenos Aires, on April 23, 2014. Therefore, this indicator deserves a "yes" response.

Supplementary Notes

Although the space station is declared to be used only for scientific purposes, many voices warn about two special points: the agreement doesn't clarify is the operations are being run by civil or military Chinese personnel, and the the Chinese space program is run by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The Patagonian deep space station is managed by the China Satellite Launch and Tracking Control General (CLTC), who reports to the PLA’s Strategic Support Force.

China is forcing its way to the South China Sea by building military bases in features within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, without a bilateral agreement between the two countries. Currently, China has effective control and has built structures in eight features in the South China Sea in Philippine EEZ — Cuarteron Reef, Fiery Cross Reef, Gaven Reefs, Hughes Reef, Johnson Reef, Mischief Reef, Subi Reef and Scarborough Shoal. Developments in construction activities were last monitored in six of the features in October last year. Therefore, this Indicator deserves a “Yes” response.

China has took over six of the features within the Philippines' EEZ in the South China Sea since 1988. China gained control of Mischief Reef in 1994.

The U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence reports list Thailand as a potential site for Chinese military facilities, noted in the Pentagon’s October report and the February intelligence assessment. This aligns with China’s regional expansion, such as its presence at Cambodia’s Ream base, and its plan for five overseas bases and ten support sites by 2030 under "Project 141," aimed at safeguarding economic interests and extending military reach in Southeast Asia.

Reports of China's presence at the Ream Naval Base on the Gulf of Thailand could significantly expand its military footprint in the Indo-Pacific region. Such a presence would mark a notable extension of China’s military access in the region, as the base lies approximately 200 kilometers off Thailand’s east coast. This development raises strategic concerns for neighboring countries, including Thailand, as it could shift the regional balance of power. Link

China is seriously concerned about opening a military base to protect its borders. Perhaps the gaze of the Celestial Empire will turn to other territories.

According to Mars Sariev, the public will react very harshly, even to rumors about its construction on the territory of the republic. Link
