Xi Dares Biden; Chinese Base In Cambodia Nears Completion, ‘Can Host Aircraft Carrier’ | Details

China;s first naval facility in the Indo-Pacific is reportedly near completion. Beijing’s pier built at Cambodia’s naval base could be capable of hosting aircraft carriers. According to a report in Financial Times, satellite images show the pier wide enough to accomodate PLA’s aircraft carrier. Washington has warned Cambodia over China’s development at its base. However, Cambodia has denied plans to grant access to the PLA. Access to Cambodia’s base would present a crucial strategic advantage to Beijing. This comes as tensions continue to simmer between the U.S. and China in the Indo-Pacific and the South China Sea. #china #pla #chinesenavy #aircraftcarrier #chineseaircraftcarrier #indopacific #cambodia #southchinasea #chinesemilitarybase #chinesebasecambodia #uschina #uschinastandoff #southchinasea #xijinping #biden Hindustan Times Videos bring you news, views and explainers about current issues in India and across the globe.
