China-built $110M Tanzanian fishing port nears completion, boosts Beijing's food-security reach

China's ambassador confirmed the completion inspection of a $110 million fishing harbor in Kilwa Masoko, Tanzania, designed to land 60,000 tonnes of fish annually. The port, built with Chinese financing and expertise, advances Beijing's strategy of securing food supplies and expanding maritime influence in East Africa. Its operational status and economic impact remain to be seen, but the project signals deepening Sino-Tanzanian infrastructure ties.
