The recent unrest in the Solomon Islands is an example of China’s influence in the South Pacific. As politicians in South Pacific countries are divided over Taiwan vs. China, people are getting impatient with their government’s pro-Beijing position. After the Solomon Islands and Kiribati switched diplomatic relations from Taiwan to China, China’s ambition to build a military base in the South Pacific is being carried out. The South Pacific is called Australia’s “backyard,” and how will this affect Sino Australia relations? Are the US and Australia prepared for the new frontier of Sino-US competition in the South Pacific?
