In 2011 the JMSDF established its own base nearby with 180 troops deployed there on a four month rotational basis, with a command headquarters, boarding facilities and parking apron, at a cost of $4.7 billion yen (USD$40 million).
In 2016 it was announced that the Japanese government was considering expanding the 12 hectare site by leasing more land to the east. It was considering deploying C-130 Hercules aircraft and armored vehicles. This was reportedly so that Japan could more easily rescue Japanese citizens in Africa.

Their intent is more than just to cover the base security needs, as they want to establish so sort of rapid response force...
That said, the PLA Marines are not "appropiately dressed" in any sense of the word - the rumored "Type 15 camo" (aka Chinese Multicam) will be appropiate.
And yes Japan have !

It doesn't foreclose the possibility that China is working on rim driven propeller because right next to the IEPS machine is prototype of jet propeller with inscription what look like rim driven propeller
It is just one man interpretation So take it with a lot of salt
So the jury is still out wait for the next episode of revelation!
Excellent find of LCAC base It show that the LCAC is operational now all those bad mouthing of LCAC is bias
The documents show that China has been working on the rim driven propeller for years. It is just that Prof. Ma didn't say that these will be used in the next nuclear submarine.
