Djibouti is at the centre of international shipping lanes connecting Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia and thus shipping lines are able to transship containers into Djibouti without a huge deviation from their routes.

Congratulations to Djibouti
China chose Djibouti as its's trade gateway to Africa due to Djibouti unique geographical location in Africa, From now on African traders will order their products from China to Africa via Djibouti port, All credit goes to the honorable President of Djibouti for actively courting more Chinese investment and closer ties.

What about to the China cadre Isaias? Self reliance does not need international cooperation? Does Ethiopia influenced the decision and prevented Eritrea from being the sea gateway for China?

Re: Congratulations to Djibouti
The answer to your last question is no, Outdated colonial infrastructure prevent Afar State and Tigre State from becoming China's gateway to Africa, Massawa and Assab’s ports are designed to accommodate the first generation of containerships that global shipbuilding industry have stopped building, The world has moved on since then.
Right now, Massawa and Assab’s ports can only be reached by small early container ships (1956) at high tide, or Arab and African traditional dhows boats, Large ships would run aground.

If there is the will there is a way! Eritrea could build a new infrastructure at the Assab Port. That should not be the reason. Isaias is the obstacle for Eritrea's development !
