"China is trying to enter Mauritius," the FT said 25th in a report published January 26 in Global Times. China has invested 700 million of dollars in a special economic zone in Mauritius, "a country-led foreign investment model that is pushing India from its traditional ' backyard '."  The report also said China's investment was aimed at "serving Beijing's expansion in Africa". Some defense analysts believe that China's growing ties with Mauritius and other Indian Ocean countries, as well as Beijing's growing naval power, "threaten" India's influence in the region, the Financial Times said. China's port development in the Indian Ocean region could turn into a military facility, Premville Dass, the former commander of the eastern Indian Navy command, citing several visits to China. "China's naval power in this part of the world will only continue to grow."  We also need to add strength here. " Xu, director of the Africa Research Institute of China's Modern International Relations Academy, 25th, said to Global Times reporter that investment in Africa is more than one in China. It is incomprehensible that China's investment in Mauritius should be dragged together with India. "Historically, Mauritius has been occupied by France and has been a British colony." British media reports show that they are still taking a colonial mentality and examining China's investment in African countries with cold War thinking.
