Britain and the United States plan a new vine communications station in the central Indian Ocean to defend against Communist Chinese expansion. Canberra reports Diego Garcia has been selected as the key base on the shipping route between Aden and the Persian Gulf. The base would host American and British forces and support naval protection as part of a broader strategic shift during World War II era conditions.
