Why China is Unlikely To Use Mauritius As a Base to Hop Into Africa

I'll give you three reasons. The first one is because it's already everywhere in Africa and has been absolutely irreverent in not waiting for the go-ahead from the bean-counter. Google about it when you have two secs. The second one is geography. Africa is not very far from China and that has not changed for a good many years if you ask me. Besides we're only the 15th busiest airport in Africa as far as passenger traffic goes (Tunisia has two airports ranked at 10th and 11th places) while Singapore and Dubai have the 11th and 13th busiest airport by cargo traffic in the World. Finally, we are stuck with the dumbest government in our history which also has more than a little penchant for cronyism.

Africa does not have the mauritian charm. besides, the smile of our PM is unique in this part of the world and that is enough to attract china investors here!

VL saying that China has promised to use Mauritius as a base to jump into Africa. For sure it's not going to be a big base.
