    Default Is this why Djibouti is important to China?

    Thanks to a photo essay in the RUSI Journal (behind a pay wall) on 'Climate Change and Djibouti' referring to the Chinese mining millions of tons of salt from Lac or Lake Assal - is that the reason for their commitment? Never seen this aspect being mentioned before.

    A quick search confirmed the Chinese mining. See:http://www.lukasspieker.com/blog/845...alt-lac-assal/ and:https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/fe...203157690.html
