A few days ago we learned China is sending a battle fleet to the Gulf of Aden, to work with the EU/U.S. anti-piracy fleet. Now India's Brahmand Defense and Aerospace News reports the Chinese do not plan to establish their own base, but instead will support their fleet from bases already in place.
This seems like more good news, at least for China/NATO relations. Every collaboration opens the door to another.
And collaboration could come in handy on topics beyond piracy. Maybe.
A few come to mind: climate change; nuclear weapons; African HIV-AIDS.
You know, little stuff.

About Me

- I'm the author of Langata Rules: Pirates at Lat 10, an adventure novel about piracy off the Horn of Africa. In researching the book I've developed a strong interest in the links among piracy, terrorism and development. The foreword to the novel, by Congressman Adam Smith, makes the case for dealing with failed states in both military and economic terms. you can read the foreword or a chapter from the novel at langatarules.com
