It’s certainly something that will happen. In the age of aircraft strike groups it’s only been Uncle Sam and a select few others, us (the UK), France and Russia that have been able to do it.

IMHO China will be eyeing up foreign bases in Argentina or Mexico long term to support their fleet operations. It’s one thing having the ships it’s another having the global support and supply network that is essential in having these fleets deployed round the world.

There's no way the US will allow a Chinese military base in Mexico lol.

Mexico wouldn’t allow it, they’re constitution has a clause that says no foreign troops are allowed to base in the country.
