China is secretly building a high-security compound near Gwadar Port in Balochistan which it will probably use for naval base, Times of India reported on June 3. According to Forbes, a leading Aerospace and Defense magazine, analysts have been watching for the first signs of a long-expected Chinese naval base at Gwadar. "The base, to complement the one at Djibouti, would strengthen China's foothold in the Indian Ocean. Recent satellite images appear to show that several new complexes have been built in the last few years. One of them, identified as a Chinese company involved in port development, has unusually high security," said Forbes.
