China in Seychelles

This is not good news for the world.  People need to understand that the Chinese do not think like civilized human beings.  They are ruthless and evil.  And when they get the chance, they're going to kill a lot of people.  You've been warned.

China will consider turning to the Seychelles as a resupply port for navy ships taking part in anti-piracy operations off Africa, official media said, rejecting suggestions this would amount to a military base that could unsettle the region.

Chinese ships participating in a multi-nation campaign against pirates striking out from Somalia have already used ports in Djibouti, Oman, and Yemen to repair and to take aboard supplies, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

A resupply port in the Seychelles, an island country in the western Indian Ocean 1,600 km (1,000 miles) off the African coast, could raise concerns in India, which has been wary of China's growing military reach.

Meanwhile, just this past week...

China's navy should speed up its development and prepare for warfare, President Hu Jintao has said.

He told military personnel they should "make extended preparations for warfare".

China is locked in territorial disputes with several other nations in the South China Sea. Political tension is also growing with the US, which is seeking to boost its presence in the region.

You know those good ol' boys from the American south, that disproportionately fill the ranks of our military?  The ones that will fight to the death for this country?  Well...the Chinese have those same types.  By the billions!
