Since the Solomon Islands signed a controversial security agreement with China last year, Australia, the US and other western countries have been concerned Beijing will try and establish a naval base on the small country.
Samoa's Prime Minister Fiamē Naomi Mata'afa, who has been visiting Australia, was quizzed about the Chinese state company being awarded the port contract. Yesterday, Mata'afa met Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to sign a cooperation agreement between the two countries.
It’s no own, just based one the contract and Australia law. Why you guys alway highlight China, China like Trump baby. Do your right job, don’t mislead Australian as u r just a propogand tool from Murdock and US,u r not represent Australia
What are the Solomon Islands worried Australian hosted US bases will 'morph' into then? Is it one of those 'rules based order' things?
It’s very simple really. Australia did not wish to match the offer China made so the best offer won!
How many us bases are close to countries it sees as a threat
I bet, if we were a sovereign nation and not the lap dog of the US and UK. Mind our business, we'd probably not be having these issues.
or they're curtains closed!
Australian companies could have tried to tender for it too... but it didn't.
Blind Freddy saw that one coming.
Time to start building that wall
Can we just tell Solomon govt that our Virginia subs (unlimited range) and Tomahawk missiles (2000km range) pose no threat to the region?
Too weak and corrupt to say no.
And who's fault is that?
And that is surprising
