The Guardian: Solomon Islands denies policing deal with China poses ‘threat’ to Pacific security
Statement comes after US, Australia and New Zealand expressed concerns about new agreement with Beijing
Solomon Islands has said that its policing pact with China poses no “threat” to the Pacific, rebuking western powers that raised fears the deal could inflame regional tensions.
Prime minister Manasseh Sogavare inked a raft of deals during a trip to China this week, including an agreement allowing Beijing to extend its police presence in the developing Pacific nation until 2025.

What doesn't benefit China, China doesn't do. Any idiot can see what China hopes to gain in the Solomons, most likely using a big wad of cash to get their stinky toe in the door, which would only be the first step. Australia better get on the ball if it wants to keep the dozens of islands in its backyard out of Chinese hands. The time for playing softball is over, it's hardball time.
The headline "Pacific Nations Voice Concerns On Developing Ties Between China And The Solomon Islands" is misleading. Only the US, Aussie and New Zealand are voicing their concerns. Shut your hole if you don't have money to give them.
