I highly recommend reading the entire EurasiaNet article though. [...] [...] Being a bit crowded already in Central Asia, it’s only a matter of time till the Chinese formally enter the game.

Not long ago the Chinese sent peacekeepers to Haiti as part of a UN mission. Was also a first time. Expect more of that and of this to continue. Indeed.

Sending troops "abroad" has not been very "Chinese" for the last 500 years or so, unless the place they were sending them was to oneday become China. Kyrgyzstan was of course once a part of China, perhaps they feel more comfortable on their old stamping grounds?

They also gave them some high-tech military equipment after the Batken incident. A Chinese military base would probably look similarly top-notch as the deplorable Russian Kant airbase. I think there's nothing to worry about. Any foreign military base in Kyrgyzstan would most likely not exceed 2,000 personnel. And while the American base on Manas airport is 'counter-terrorist' in its purpose, the US has never carried out an operation on Kyrgyz soil. I am wondering how China wants to hunt down Uighurs by installing a military base then. They've got "other means":http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=39204&SelectRegion=Central_Asia&SelectCountry=KYRGYZSTAN to make sure they get them.
