Chinese personnel at the country's first overseas military base in Djibouti have been using lasers to interfere with US military aircraft at a nearby American base, activity that has resulted in injuries to US pilots and prompted the US to launch a formal diplomatic protest with Beijing. On Thursday, Chinese state media had strongly refuted the original claims by US defense officials, accusing them of "cooking up phony laser stories."In February, US lawmakers raised concerns Djibouti was planning to hand over control of a major commercial port to China, after the local government seized the port and canceled the previous operator's contract.
This relates to the conflict in Asia about containing communism and America’s rocky relations with China in recent history.
