A British MP who visited Djibouti (Africa) was expelled there due to Chinese sanctions
Tim Loughton, a serving Member of Parliament for the ruling Conservative Party in Britain, who was sanctioned by China, revealed that he was arrested and deported from Djibouti shortly after his arrival this month to the East African nation as a "direct result" of the latter's close ties with Beijing.
According to the MP, the sanctions were imposed on him and six others for "speaking out against human rights violations on an industrial scale by the Communist Chinese government against the Uighurs, Tibetans and now also Hong Kong citizens."
Djibouti, the smallest country in Africa, has received billions of dollars in investment from China, including a new stadium, a hospital, and a billion-dollar port, as reported by The Daily Telegraph. The Chinese giant has also built a naval base in Djibouti, stationed there 2,000 soldiers, and holds more than $1.4 billion of the country's debt, which is 45% of its GDP.
